In this workshop, we will delve into the narrative and expressive possibilities of dance gestures in connection with images, perception, and the sound of speech. Using Instant Composition tools, we will engage in a practice that includes the voice and merges the musicality of poetic languages. A path that allows us to experience and refine our intuitions, leading towards new creative processes and forms of communication with others... moving from poetic text to bodily stories.
Informed by recent research, the workshop will integrate texts from international contemporary female poets including Arabic and Iranian voices. Participants are encouraged to bring any text of their choice, whether it's poetic, narrative, a shopping list, a grandmother's receipt, or even a love letter to their favorite pizza, as long as it's in their native language.
