Odiáxere, Collective Exercise of Imagination
In this participatory project, creating a workshop – show, lasting just three days, we work from contemporary dance, the exercises and practices it provides us, to (re)discover and make known the paths that Odiáxere taken, how it has reached today, and what is desired for the future of that place.
The work is developed around three basic questions, asked to participants at the beginning of the workshop, which serve as a driving element for research and creation work with the body, which navigates between the real and what does not exist, in the sense of find an imagined place, for a balanced relationship between the body and that space.
The project takes place on the 29th, 30th of September and 1st of October, on Friday, after work hours, and on the weekend, during daytime hours. There is a public presentation on the last day of the workshop.
