WORKSHOPS

My research begins with the transformation of the language of breakdancing, exploring new forms, qualities, and dynamics, with a special focus on weight distribution and transfer, as well as the use of tension, relaxation, and bodily softness. The intention is to use weight as a physical element that allows us to move swiftly and lightly, enhancing the creativity that emerges when the free parts of the body interact with the ground.
