🕖 19:00 – From Dependency to Connection —Workshop with Lucas & Déborah.
The Concept: Autonomy as the Foundation of Unity. Many dancers often mistake contact for connection, but we can have a lot of contact and still no connection. When we become “dependent” on our partner’s support to maintain our balance, we create parasitic tension and this will generate a discomfort that heavies the lead and restricts the follower’s freedom.
The goal is to rediscover a connection that is both “healthy and beautiful”: by being confortable with ourselves we are ready to find connection with others.
This workshop is designed for dancers looking to gain fluidity, lightness, and elegance. By connecting with the ground first you will open up a space for a creative dialogue.
