Creating dance-performance material

In this workshop we will explore and experience different techniques of improvisation and composition in dance, mainly inspired by Juliana’s work with the director Alain Platel and Les ballets C de la B for the past ten years.

The workshop is constructed based on free and guided improvisations, finding an emotional state before a physical one, going from physical states to movement. We ask questions to the body and we try to answer them physically. We will explore composition tasks with imaginary situations and recognizable circumstances. 

The warm up and will include stretch exercises and some circus/acrobatics.
Juliana Neves will share her experience from inside and outside les ballets C de la B and will also propose a path with specific themes and tasks based on former company creations.
