Sources of energy

Laura Aris > Fuentes de energía DannyWillems

As an artist I would like to share some thoughts, questions, advice and my accumulated experience in order to inspire and encourage others; to help them to improve their technical skills, to take their own decisions, to reflect and construct their own person and imagery.

During the workshop, we will work on exercises to awaken our playfulness, spirit, intuition and instinctive movement. We will also pay attention to technique, to details and to the exploration of the physical mechanisms that allow us to reach physical extremes, at the same time as we protect the body. We will use bone structure and muscle chains to enhance fluidity and freedom in our own movement; to learn how to recycle and save energy.

I think it’s essential to work in order to reach a balance between strength and flexibility, physicality, emotions and the brain.

We will combine the physical language of dance with the emotion and drama of the theatre through specific energies and clear images providing movement with context and meaning.
