JUAN TIRADO (frantics dance company / johannes wieland)

when: 16th july 2017 / 1:30pm – 5:30pm

where: Berlin, Germany

ORIGEN
“origen” is a very physical, dynamic and emotional experience. it is about coming back to the origins, to the simple question: why do we dance? the workshop starts with a warm up based on different improvisation techniques for the body/brain, giving the opportunity to the student to share his/her own personal story.

his philosophy is to create different atmospheres with the dancers, driving them so they can reach a high energetic trance, a point of no return. being originally a breakdancer, he will also bring his own concept of floor movements, giving the student the opportunity to also feel the organic contemporary floorwork, with the sharpness and the energetic breakdance facet.
