BODY, MOVEMENT & CONTACT IMPROVISATION RESEARCH AND CREATION If SOMA is the ‘body’, Play is the state, space and time for research and creation. Early Bird Discount price: 10% off the full price, until Sept 15th, 2020. Registrations: https://somaandplay.weebly.com/inscripciones--registrations.html SOMA LAB emerges from the desire and needs to generate spaces and collective encounters where we can create modes of learning and knowing inspired by the practices and dialogue, present and past, between contemporary dance, contact improvisation, techniques of improvisation and instantaneous composition, and the sources of ‘movement research’. The LAB space is proposed at a time when dance permeates and is affected by other contemporary movement-body based disciplines, pedagogical, expressive, and performative. In this edition of SOMA & Play, we traverse diverse movement languages and temporalities, with the intention and purpose that this project continues to respect and be in tune with nature and the vital rhythms that originate in these spaces of creativity, and within the individual and collective encounters. As co-creators of Soma & Play, Dasha and Félix have trusted their intuition to expand SOMA&Play to a wider group of movers and natural landscapes. We want to create an intimate, as well as collective, space of encounters that moves, reflects, dialogues, and exchanges diverse forms of learning, processing, and practicing somatic experience, dance research, and other modes of complementary knowledge from the arts and sciences. We will be accompanying the updates on the necessary health and travel precautions and restrictions. We are keeping the number of participants to smaller for this year - both considering precautions, and to be able to focus and deepen the work with a smaller group of movers, students, and movement-based artists. All group activities will be happening in an outside studio space. We will also be taking advantage of different spectacular landscapes, as site-specific locations for activities, that we are exploring and scouting out. Don't miss out and register asap!
