Workshop 1
Facilitator: Martin del Amo
The Body Exists to Be Tested
As dancers, we are trained to perform extremely complex movement material and make it look effortless. It's precisely our training, however, that sometimes makes us forget how powerful a simple gesture can be, or a moment of still or a mere flick of an isolated body part. This workshop takes an investigative approach to dance making, exploring various improvisational and compositional strategies to generate, structure and analyse solo dance material. It will also draw on Martin's research conducted as part of his responsive residency with Paul White (dancer) and Dr Amanda Card (research consultant).
Dates: Tuesday evenings 15th and 22nd February, 1 March 2011. Time: 6-9pm.
Location: The Drill, 1c New Beach Rd, Rushcutters Bay, Sydney. See www.criticalpath.org.au
