MOVEMENT TO MOVEMENT (2015 - 2016)
project of to parts
1. SHARING MOVEMENT
It is crucial that we continue our professional development outside of the country and share what we have learnt back at home. By increasing the amount and quality of professional workshops for dancers and actors in Lithuania we make our dance and theater scene much more exciting. By sharing our practices and seeing new ideas performed and explored by other physical performers we become able to evaluate ourselves more accurately and decide how to move forward. The techniques delivered during the seminars expand the performer‘s physical capacities, special and kinespherical awareness, rhythmical understanding of movement. While following not complicated physical sequences and improvising, the performer is guided towards his own particular ways of moving. During the seminars one of the techniques that we present is Iasparra technique (LEM,Argentina). It investigates the body as a tool to create work and is based on 25 yearlong ongoing movement researches by Vivi Iasparra.
2. PERFORMING MOVEMENT
‘Less is more’ approach is applied towards working with movement and the object. No showing off. By focusing on developing a duet between the performer and the object, we leave space for unexpected things to happen. In other words, there will be mistakes made and you will notice them. CREDITS
