Arnulfo Pardo Ravagli: Improvisation through physical Awareness
Workshop for professionals / 16th Dance & Non-Verbal Theatre Festival
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: This workshop take as starting point the technical principles studied during the dance class. Phrases and choreographies from the technical classes are used as base material to awake creativity. The phrases will be decomposed and deconstructed giving to each dancer the possibility to find personal approaches. The improvisation and movement research sessions are combined with Physical Awareness Exercises, which aim to develop the ability dancers have to consciously direct and keep attention. These types of exercises contribute to develop the capacity to move and focus attention using the five senses. Physical awareness and its influence in the scenic presence of contemporary dancers was the topic of my Master thesis. After that theoretical investigation, I have been developing games and improvisation exercises in order to help dancers to connect their minds and bodies being fully present while dancing.
