Beyond Boundaries

Workshop with Maria Antunes, Marc Oliveras Casas
In the frame of Cooperation Tanz im August

This workshop day features two classes led by renowned dancers Maria Antunes and Marc Oliveras Casas, both of whom perform in Marco da Silva Ferreira's captivating piece,  C A R C A Ç A during Tanz im August.
 
11:00-13:00: Beyond Boundaries: House and Contemporary Dance 
 
Join Maria Antunes as we break barriers between different dance languages, including house and contemporary dance. This workshop offers an opportunity to learn fundamental techniques, explore improvisation, and master dance sequences. We welcome contemporary dancers, street dancers, and movers from all backgrounds to participate in this experience.
 
14:00-16:00: Superheroes (cancelled)
 
In this improvisation workshop with Marc Oliveras Casas, you can explore your interior space, which will gradually evolve into exterior architecture. From the floor we begin to build our body structure and understand the basic mechanisms that allow us to resist gravity and create movement. Once standing, we explore the environment as a source of inspiration as well as the forces that come into play as we move through space. In doing so, the imagination serves as a tool to expand our sensory world and movement possibilities. In this way we create new textures and new sources of movement inside and outside our bodies.
