MAIN WORKSHOP

From the individual to the ensemble

Margarita Trikka. Choreographer

Language: english, greek, ..

This workshop will focus on the union of two seemingly opposite poles: individuality  and togetherness. How I discover my personal unique movement and how can i use it as a member of a dance team.

We will work with the movement and its rhythm, its alternating qualities and their contrasts, aiming to understand  how we can  produce meanings through the use of movement.

Based on the principals of contemporary dance, we learn how to move as a collectivity without losing our uniqueness. We improvise under different contexts and by creating various forms, we learn how to compose a dance piece for a group.

Our ultimate task is to move towards performing. To give movement such a meaning that our steps will turn into art.
