"The performing art of the stage is an art of space, and will be much more in the future." O. Schlemmer, Bauhaus. Understanding circus performance as an art of space,Where the movement is a living architecture provoked by Different human dynamics.
My program is a highlight of a period of reflection, creation, production of previous years. While questions about; composition, choreography, dramaturgy, performativity or stage design are dynamic art forms in constant mutation, we try to analyze which are the most adapted form of dramaturgy for the circus expression. In relation to these necessities, the program I am proposing is developed around a practice that will question the type of performativity suitable for the specificities and necessity for the Circus language which by its character basically is not a space for representation but rather the presentation of a more committed action of risk-taking performance. Furthermore, a very interesting element is to understand the phenomenology of the circle and circular spatiality as well as their artistic specificities and technical means.
All classes incorporate two complementary points of view; stage design and movement techniques form circus, dance and theatre. We intend to Inter-relate this subjects as a coherent whole that aims to produce a methodological progression for developing the artistic and creative work. The teaching is based on a practical research about the dynamics of movement and rhythm; throw the body as the primary element of recognition of the living being.
Our research focuses on the practice and analysis of movement techniques that we develop throw practice of guided improvisation. We consider the acrobatic elements not only as a movement technique but also as an attitude towards movement. This allows us to have more freedom to explore new perspective of using space and to renovate our possibilities of expression, creation and dramatic composition. The particularity of this method is different from the theatrical play, because it doesn’t seek to represent a history or fiction of reality.
