Since 2014, I lead regularly workshops and hold seminars in theaters and universities for generating new ideas, forms, and aesthetics. My methodology is inspired by two pioneers in the field of education: the Bauhaus ideology about interdisciplinarity, and by postmodern choreographers working practices, based on collective creativity and movement-based process.
Historically, in the frame of the experimental "Stage workshop", the Bauhaus School was the first official artistic institution teaching performance as an individual art form, different from traditional theater and dance practices. Oriented both theory and practice, Oskar Schlemmer's class was based on design, play, instinct, and imaginative use of masks and costumes. The body was the central material to try out new forms of movements, in connection to character, lights, texts, and sounds.
On the other hand, in 1968, landscape architect Lawrence Halprin and avant-garde dancer Anna Halprin, conducted the "Experiments in Environment" workshop, devoted to the "ongoingness of collective creativity." The workshop entailed a range of movement, communication, and notation exercises, designed to pursue “ways of learning through exploration and direct experience.” It was also a testing ground for the RSVP Cycles, method for combining Resources, Scores, Valuaction, and Performance as tools for collective creativity.
My methodology mixes the Bauhaus heritage with American postmodern choreographers creative exercises, and completes it with contemporary performance practices. I use costumes, masks, accessories in experimental, movement-oriented, improvisation exercises, create solo and group performances, develop critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
Theoretical, practical, and interdisciplinary at the same time, each workshop focuses on a particular issue, and new topics can also be created according to the context in which the workshop takes place.
