Through a rhythmical and somatic exercises, we will understand the pelvis as the moving motor of our bodies. Mechanically the pelvis is seen as the centre of our bodies and the key to deal with our weight and its mechanics. Energetically, it is seen and understood as the trigger point for creativity and aliveness. While working with playfulness and a sense of festivity, we will explore different ways of inviting movement to negotiate with weight, to release tensions, strengthen the core, and encourage liveliness while building a sensitivity for collectiveness. The training is structured in a series of both set and improvised movement.
A massive motivation for the development of this practice is the revolt against the colonialised body: negating straight lines and stiff verticality to transform them into curves and animalistic bodies. It also promotes the exploration of pleasure, an enjoyment of own bodies and physicality, empowering ourselves through joy and (dis)comfort.
