Episode 7 - Holding Space
Durante la primera semana de septiembre, el coreógrafo brasileño Renan Martins ofrecerá un taller centrado en distintas prácticas físicas que han dado forma a su última pieza GUERRILLA, realizada en colaboración con Cullberg. Al final de la semana, abrirá las puertas del estudio para compartir parte de este trabajo con el público local.
EPISODES consiste en encuentros esporádicos donde el coreógrafo invita a un grupo seleccionado de artistas a pasar una semana juntos. El objetivo es crear un espacio donde intérpretes locales y no locales puedan encontrarse, improvisar, abrir discusiones y cuestionar nuestras ideas sobre las prácticas colectivas en la danza.
