When: 29/06-03/07

Episode #5: DYNAMIC MOVEMENT SYSTEMS WITH DAVID HERNANDEZ

OTROS (Other Training Reconforming Other Systems) is the new Portuguese platform dedicated to dance.
It arises in Lisbon from the need to encourage contemporary dance research and support new generations of dancers.
In an accelerated world, which suffers the inability to create a bridge between the art of movement’s heritage and today’s socio-cultural development, OTROS intends to assume a preserving role of dance technique from the ephemeral and volatile tendency that characterises our era, disseminating the remarkable and qualitative practices that have emerged in the last decades and offering a solid and thorough training path in an accessible format to the community.

About the workshop

SHARED LEVITATION – Partnering

The work is introduced through the activation of our channels of awareness and the connection to the partner through manipulation and discovery of the body’s structure and weight.
In this first part the use of play-fullness allows us to connect to our instinctive and primitive side, tuning into a shared natural flow of breath.
Every time changing and adapting to a new partner and universe – we listen, follow and direct the movement as one functioning organism through space. We get ready to jump, cross, push, pull, avoid, embrace and suspend each other.
The focus is on an organic way of Partnering, based on action/reaction principles inspired by Contact Improvisation and Fighting styles.

We like to access the movement from a perspective of a deeper connection and try to avoid the superficial habit of copying shapes. Instead, we motivate every couple to find a unique way of communicating with the partner and look for individual solutions and variations of the material. Another important aspect of our class is the constant change of the level of activity for both roles.
