Práticas de Improvisação em Dança
Workshop with Sara Montalvão / +16 years old
In this intensive workshop, guidelines will be given that activate the imagination in energetic dialogue with the body. The practice of improvisation in dance brings autonomy and identity to the movement, enhancing the history that each body brings. We deepen interpersonal dynamics, looking for different textures and qualities, with focus and creativity in movement.
