...enjoy every detail of movement to strengthen one’s dancing language
BE the dance: be the stage persona and the aware dancer
Modern Dance and Theatre Dance lead to infinite facets of energy and expression of the body and movement: not being tied to a predefined virtuosic or aesthetic model, a whole palette of possibilities for expressive and poetic research remains vibrant. Movement, form, time, gravity, dynamics, the relation between body and space, the role of sound and music, personal and collective images, the relation to the earth, to ones body and to the bodies of others, experiential anatomy: all steps in a continuous and marvellous journey.
We will deepen each persons capacity to relate in a specific and aware manner to movement and choreography, in its expressive, anatomical, dynamic qualities, through technique and the creative process: on stage there are no excuses, it necessary and delicious to be aware actors.
The objective of the didactic part of Elisa is to activate a process that may lead to more awareness and choice, that may engage a taste for the rigorous pleasure of being on stage.
