Building on the first two days of masterclasses, participants will revisit the unique physicality of “Vis Motrix” and deepen their understanding of CocoonDance’s repertoire. This time, dancer Fa-Hsuan Chen will guide participants through the principles of creation and the material of the piece.
Together with Rafaële, participants will continue the exploration of movement, bringing together repertoire and research. Once again, the focus will be on the underlying tools and processes used to create CocoonDance works, collected in the CocoonDance MoveApp.
1. Momentum/warm-up: the movements - pulsating and the exhaustion of repetition - are central for these tasks. This idea will accompany the work in diverse modalities, always working and pulsing, bouncing, and reflecting on the transformations caused in the body afterwards.
2. Hybridity/composition: the basis of the movements was created through research with Muay Thai Boxing for legwork and a study of Les Sylphides for the torso. Creating a new body, what we call: The Unthought Body.
