We will use the territories of butoh dance, contact improvisation and clown as tools to develop our personal dance aiming to reach a state of authentic improvisation in which we can unfold the mythology of the being. This workshop is an invitation to all movers/performing art researchers/life seekers; an opportunity to deepen the connection with the subtleties of the space, the capacity to articulate the impulses through the body and the fluidity to share a state of presence and vulnerability with others. We aim to explore the immensity that can be open when we dare to dwell in the unknown resisting the protective impulses of trying to find familiar references or explanations to what is happening. Tasting that state of " being all of that characters but non of them ", can relentlessly demolish some certanties. An after taste of death mixed with freedom can last for few hours or maybe thousand years…" . . . "The sacred fool does not play tricks to show herself, but allows the comunity to see her in absurd, ridiculous, uncomfortable places; she gives us permission to laugh at his darkest desires and her strongest beliefs. She allows herself to be consumed by the atrocious fire of collective laughter so that only what is essentially necessary remains: a being in the tireless search of vibrating in love.” . . . "there is risk of experiencing the sensation of embracing for few seconds a state in which you face all the directions of yourself at once with no other option than laughing at the beauty of your own ridiculousness.” . . .
