LIFTS: FALLING AND FLYNG Movement Laboratory with Paweł Kubiak & Daniel Rojasanta, Koh Phangan

𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐓𝐒: 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐋𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 Movement Laboratory with Paweł Kubiak & Daniel Rojasanta During this Laboratory we want to invite you to explore together movement related to falling and flying, and during the process bring up our own questions and interests, in order to share experiences about lifting in our dance practice and co-create a space to investigate and enrich our perspectives about it. During a lift: How to land safely? How to rise together? How to save energy? How to find an effortless quality? How to be ready for the unexpected? How to not jump into it, creating a gap, but instead find a smooth gradual transition from low to higher level, and from higher to low level, as part of a bigger movement? How to see the small fragments of the process, and simultaneously, don’t breaking it in pieces but create wholeness in the movement? How to do smooth transitions, changing levels, while keeping a solid connection? How to experience the lift not as a repetition of a form but as a state open for improvisation? How to don’t treat our partner as an object, but instead co-create a lift as a balanced collaboration? How to play with lifts in trio? The space of this laboratory is not necessarily meant to answer all the questions. We are interested in proposing these questions, open space for the participants questions too, and investigate together, going deeper in our own Movement practice.
