“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energised focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
Exploring the concept of the flow in the movement, and how to reach this mental state during moving.
Using the gravity, body weight, and free-fall concept.
We will take our bodies on a journey to discover the relation between our body weight and gravity. We are always in relation to Gravity, this relation becomes so clear while moving.
Exploring the space in a conscious way during the flow state.”
During the Workshop:
We will explore the following actions in relation to gravity.
1. Adding Weight
2. Subtracting weight
3. Multiplying weight
4. Dividing weight
The session will be divided into 4 sections:
1st section: will be a preparation for the body by bringing a specific kind of co awareness of the body. Then we will start moving with the same awareness.
2nd section: we will be learning very simple phrases trying to apply what we have just explored.
3rd section: We will be crossing the space using small patterns of movements.
4th section: this section will be divided between improvisation and a small choreography to apply what we have learned.
