Beyond the dancer and the actor. Creativity, body and performance.

 

Through eminently practical exercises we will revise the essential theory of the performative and contemporary. In each exercise we will unlearn techniques until we reach the only truth of the body. To the infinite and rich solitude of the physical. We will seek to lose ourselves and rediscover ourselves on the scene with immediate and unconscious responses that build our work. We will look for the Transformation as the only place of existence of the performer and his work.

 

STEPS.

 

1. The body as Universe and Sphere. Fluids, pain, pleasure, breathing, presence. The body as birth and limit of the physical scene. Outside and inside the body there is only emptiness, without any thought. Exhaustion practice. Discovery and resolution of the internal conflict. YOU ARE BODY.

 

2. On stage, we create common space from the limit defined by each body. Things happen in that space. Approach and resolution of the external conflict. YOU ARE SCENE.

 

3. Techniques without techniques. Leave the space of comfort and the resources learned. Get lost on stage. Search and Listen Unconscious and immediate decision making. Abandonment of text and movement. YOU ARE EMPTY.

 

The actor abandons the character, the dancer the movement. Actor and Dancer. Appearance of the performer. YOU ARE BEING.

 

4. Recognition of the Theory. Connection and reference. The work is not the idea. Consistency and discards. Travel through the void THE performer creates / is the work. YOU ARE CREATION.

 

5. Transformation. Start of the Performance. Only at the door that proposes a change and travel is the here and now possible. Suddenly, it happens; suddenly, it is. YOU ARE TRANSFORMATION.
