Roser López Espinosa / FLOORWORK

A+B level

This workshop proposes a technical and playful approach to floor-work. Strong physicality, delicacy, complicity and imagination. We will approach movement from the basis of an articulated, soft, agile, fast, versatile and powerful body. Taking advantage of the movement capacity of the spine as a motor for movement (curves, spirals, twists, ripples and combined undulating movements), we will go through floor-work with rolls, glides, simple acrobatic movements and jumps. We will study the relation with the floor and the work on supports, weight transfers, movement projection in space and physical mechanics. We will put the different eye ranges, detail, precision and playfulness into practice.
