Workshop with Lu\u00eds Guerra<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

During these days of exploration, I will share approaches, strategies, and tools that I have been developing over more than twenty years of continuous work as a performer and improviser in the fields of dance, performance, and the visual arts. The proposal involves immersing ourselves in the body as one of the richest territories and one of the privileged instruments for the expression of creative impulse, activating dimensions that are often dormant or uninhabited, seeking to reawaken consciousness to all that dwells or hides in the darkness of the unconscious. We will work primarily with sensory stimuli that extend beyond the visual field, prioritizing listening and hearing, but also internal archaeology, opening space for transcendental dives that may stray beyond the scripts of control and predictability. Above all, it will be a space for exploration, experimentation, spontaneous composition, and improvisation, where the body of each day will become the primary guide and conductor. We will seek states of presence that are more detached from preconceived notions of right and wrong, good and evil, and valid and invalid, without, however, compromising our standards regarding form or content. In this way, we will create space for intense experiences\u2014sometimes akin to or evoking altered states of consciousness\u2014that reveal bodies that are more receptive, sensitive, and alive. Above all, this will be an encounter to be built together, with the hope that for each participant it will be a nourishing moment that propels the expansion of the physical, psychic, and emotional realms.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
