Towards Vivencia (cancelled)
Online Workshop
with
Jorge Crecis
In the frame of Winter Tanz 2021/22
In this workshop you can experience the training method “Towards Vivencia”, developed by dancer and choreographer Jorge Crecis. It combines extremely intense, physical practice with scientific movement research to focus on how to locate and train that moment in performance which is the holy grail to anyone within the performing arts; where the ‘magic’ of live theatrical performance resides, that state of mind associated with peak performance presence. Using knowledge from neurosciences, anthropology and phenomenology, this training aims to pin down the non-ordinary state of consciousness associated with peak performance presence. In the workshop you will touch briefly on how your nervous system works, but you will mainly jump, run, dance and climb to explore the limits of your bodies to train resilience. You will work with high levels of cardiovascularly intensity to push past your fears and insecurities. And you will spin for more than 20 minutes to experience how it feels to fly.
Please note: According to the current status, the workshop will take place completely online. Further information will be communicated by mail shortly before the workshop starts.
