Workshop:A day with a single composition

Popis služby

A Workshop by Berrak Yedek A day with a single composition How can “La Folia” inspire the movement? Originally La Folia was a folk tune/musical form that invited people to dance (First it is supposed to be created in Portugal in the late 15th century, especially in festivals). A lot of composers during the Baroque period have borrowed the tune and composed many variations on the theme. “La Folia” is a tune that has not been consumed since, instead has inspired many composers and musicians. It is presumed to be the mostly played tune. The tune is definitely inspiring but maybe the meaning that comes with it is also triggering the human body: Madness and light headedness. This workshop however is not a musical nor a historical one, instead an experiential event about how the energy and sonorous quality of these variations impact movement and our imagination. In other words, we will improvise, letting ourselves be led step by step by the structure of the composition, feeling and observing what this moves in us. The guided improvisation and free improvisation will be based on certain movement principles of Somatic Dialogue. 10:30-12:00: Danced “Prayers” to awaken the paths in the body 12:00-13:00: Common Lunch break (feasting to honour the body) 13:00-14:30: Very concrete and physical improvisation tools (based on Somatic Dialogue), that can support personal movement styles 14:30-15:00: Turkish Coffee break 15:00-17:00: Improvising and witnessing the variations on La Folia All styles are welcome, especially the personal ones. We will listen to hear better what the body sings to these themes. Anyone who loves improvising for a whole day is welcome.
