E.B.2.3 Naus
In this workshop we will work dance departing from gesture.
To reflect on the real and symbolic meaning of the gestures that we make. To create a lexicon of gesture that is desired for the group, creating a symbolic game. The gesture used as raw material for a dance composition. The gesture to know myself and to know the other. The gesture that is ours.
