[About the Workshop]

SPANISH:

Trabajo articular y óseo a nivel bajo que se estructura hacia el nivel medio y alto rumbo al control muscular, pero orgánico del movimiento. Se trabajan espirales amplias y un movimiento abarcativo que esgrime el espacio. Hay bases de africanía, técnica release y técnica Limón. En una segunda etapa se trabajan dispositivos de improvisación, creación de lenguaje y de personaje; desde la emocionalidad y el teatro físico.
