Sparkling Imagination with Horacio Macuacua
Horacio proposes a highly physical work that demands attention, interest and intensity rather than a certain technique level, challenging the potentiality of each dancer to push the limits of body imagination and expression further to discover new and surprising possibilities.
This workshop evolves with what the group offers, as the ability to create and compose physically needs training and attention as well as technique or style.
Through the group process the participants learn from each other through acceptance and transformation, collaboration and observation of their own dance and of the whole group.
Let’s dive into the work, get the engines started and let the imagination flow! Let’s dance!
