from Improvisation to Performance -With Soundbody Practices

The workshop "From Improvisation to Performance - with Soundbody Practices" aims at an experience of improvisational research on listening to body and connecting to space. With the inspiration of this improvisational research, the workshop invites the participant to construct a performance space. During the process each participant is guided to listen to needs of self and the space in constructing their performances.

Soundbody practices are aimed at enabling us to establish a deeper connection with our body and consequently to the universe that surrounds us; moreover, to remember this bond which was already founded. Flowing into the body by using our own voice provides an exercise that reminds us we how we live as a team along with all our cells. And this invites us to a territory where we can transfer from mental awareness into bodily awareness, an area with wider possibilities and where we can just be in the moment. This invitation also is a call from the universe. Inside this universe of vibrations and frequencies where everything is sound, our bodies too remain to be the sound. To brighten up and expand such sound becomes attainable once we get to relate to it; upon the liberation of the voices within our bodies which have been lingering to be released. Soundbody practices give way to exercises, games and shared experiences, where we get to try different possibilities of the body through breath, motion and voice.
