Due to my obsession about learning I am willing to start a research about something I understand as principal: training. Training as a place that provides a complete physical and psychological preparation.
The research about limits as training
I'm asking myself what type of training would allow us to achieve a certain state which offers a total availability useful for any kind of psycho-physical activity. A state where we can be, where we can move and perceive the constant movement of what surround us, of what we are and what we do.
That is, find the type of training that would help us to obtain this state that testing the body and disposed of.
We are aiming to start a process in which we install ourselves and walk through and around body, environment and limits
I believe limits as a state, as a place, a way to be.
These limits will be treated of their different aspects: spatial, therefore, territorial, and physical, therefore, emotional and psychological, perceptual and sensory.
We consider limits as imposed and prelearned boundaries. We want to discover how they conform our reality and how they make difficult for us to go beyond what we are, where we are and what we do.
We will be trying to detect which tools facilitate this state where the body is constantly challenging limits (taking risks, visiting known borders). Which are the activities, exercises or propositions that make the body a malleable receptacle, to find a certain availability in its physicality, in the fact of feeling and living.
Taking the idea of the gaze, which creates limits and outlines by framing and focusing. How would we activate this gaze from our instinct and using the experience generated from our propositions? Being able to reframe and redirect in different ways. In order to be able to shape limits as a tool for improvisation and composition.
We will be working the focus of the gaze from the perspective of the spectator and the performer including the use of the camera or with naked eye.
In different occasions the camera will take part as witness.
We're doing long sessions in which the body is the vehicle.
Sessions take place from situational, training or conditional specific proposals, in which the means of assimilation and carrying will be exclusively the body and its physicality.
We will search reactions from impulses, understood as the desire that moves you to respond without thinking.
I'm also interested to investigate about the exchange area created between limits, external and internal limits, stimulus. Stimulus such as changes that will trigger reactions, whether physical (temperature, light, pressure, touch, vibration), chemicals (odors, flavor, oxygen in the blood) or mechanical. And, therefore, take into account that the sense organs are recipients that carry these exchanges through the nervous system which prepares the response, visual, pain, sound, taste, smell and thermal sensation.
Guided by the feeling that generates impulse and stimulus.
This space will allow us to find situations which we will recall and resulting initiation of a future scenic work.
