Intensive Workshop in Liverpool

Liverpool Improvisation Collective and Fool's Proof Theatre present:

INSTANT COMPOSITION: Co-Existing in the Space

a 4-day intensive workshop and series of performance events with Sebastián García Ferro at the Bluecoat August 31st to September 4th. Supported by Liverpool Culture's 10 for 2010 - Dance Commissions.

The workshop focuses on improvisation for performance, with specific interest in interdisciplinary performance. How can performers from different backgrounds co-exist in the space? What basic mechanisms of composition cut across disciplines to function as a common language? Open to performers of all disciplines (Theatre, Dance, Music, and Live Art).

The week will also include the artist talking about his own dance company's work and culminate in a double-bill evening of improvised performance: Sebastian Garcia Ferro/Adriana Pegorer (duet) and the workshop participants on Saturday Sep 4th.

Sebastián García Ferro is a Choreographer, Dancer, Contact Improvisation Performer and Musician from Argentina based in Barcelona - Spain. He has directed his own company since 1999, creating 16 dance pieces, and more than 15 choreographies, residencies and commissions in Europe. He won the 1prix in the 12maspalomas dance contest in 2007.

He regularly collaborates on other projects as an improviser and performer, touring in more than 17 countries (www.youtube.com/sgfdancecompany).

P.O.R.C.H. is…

… Based on a true story.

Arriving. Meeting.

Getting into new habits corresponding/responding to the new environment we find ourselves in.

Falling in the back space of the rule.

Visited by men.

Something like building up houses. Depth. Dimensionality. Journey. Taking away the question mark for a while.

A spider web. 14 spiders on the web. Not all of them visible at the same time.

Trust.

Reflection on Module I

We really dived into our own research physically, energetically and in constant feedback with each other, our facilitators, the elements and the work the work the work, the love.
