WORKSHOP 12-14.00: on sensuous  embodiments, sound vibrations, repetition & Dancehall – Tamara Alegre

Class description

we will work with sound vibrations as a source and material to access embodiments, physical and mental states, fiction and dance. emphasis is on the areas around the sexual organs: hips, ass, belly and genitals. participants should be open and curious to work from a sensual ground. we will also work with techniques for ass shaking. we will work with one of the choreographies from NX FUIMO, Tamara Alegre’s latest work,  and practice and repeat steps and moves.

the workshop is linked to the Dancehall morning classes and should be vieed as such, participation in it is highly recommended, as Dancehall inspires some of the work that will be done in the workshop.
