CLÉMENTINE TÉLÉSFORT

AT RESONANCE...

Movement workshop

This workshop will guide participants through an exploration of their movement by observing the structure of their body as a whole. We will play with investigations that will help us to locate where physical blocks and unnecessary tensions occur, to inform us about our movement patterns and then, to develop a greater intuition in our improvisational skills and movement functionality.

By touching principles of biomechanics, the practice will aim to bring fluidity and smooth power to our structure and joints from the application of games and the investigation of various body states. Inspired by concepts from different disciplines such as martial arts, contact and somatic practices, the class invites us to listen to the internal movements of the body and be inspired by it to creatively compose each moment with greater sensitivity. "My interest is in moving away from the impulse to do and practice a sensitive listening quality, to allow our structure to flow freely in the changing landscapes of our dances."

Creative process workshop

This creative workshop will invite participants to explore their imaginations as a source of dramaturgical content and expand their acting skills through the practice of instant composition. We will take advantage of the understanding obtained during the physical training of the movement workshop, to enrich our body states and compose in an intuitive way. By sharing those methodologies and tools, I am interested in investigating how internal movements can be a source of creative inspiration to design, and shape both our stage state and our choreographic material.
