Sensory improvisation + repertoire 

The Sensory Improvisation classes focus on a fundamentally physical investigation, based on rich imagery, physical sensations and deep listening to the body. Patterns of information during the class are added in layers, forming a multi-sensory and physically challenging experience.

The improvisational nature of such exploration allows each participant to find a personal and deep connection with their body in movement, while stimulating the senses and imagination. Participants increase their proprioception, their awareness of their own habits and improve their efficiency of movement within specific patterns.

Objective of the workshop:

These types of classes invite us to awaken more awareness and connection with our bodies in movement and transformation. This work has a very positive impact on the health and mood of the participants we have had to date. It is another of our focuses as artists to continue sharing and offering the public transformative experiences through dance in the studio and on stage.

Our creations as choreographers are mainly focused on movement research. We enjoy working as a team, as well as challenging the limits and habits of the performers, encouraging research, introspection and continuous reinvention.

We pay strong attention to the layers of information added to the movement, such as fantasies, textures, shapes, forms, sensations, changing physical histories, volume, gesture, delicacy or explosiveness, with the aim of enriching the choreography and interpretative skills.

We seek a broader physical experience that connects with the viewer through the body's natural empathic proprioceptive capacity, through the connection that is generated by observing another person embodying a physical or emotional experience.
