'For a number of years SPACE has been of central interests to me, both as performer/dance-maker and as teacher.

Its nature, how we perceive it, its emotionality and how it's inherent power in the theatrical setting enables the performer and audience to share sensation and imagination.

And in the VOICE work which is a radical element of my performances deals with the action of 'making silence' and using it both acoustically and visually. The work deals with the dual nature of 'silence' in terms of acoustics and vision.

In this week's workshop we will work with both of these elements, how they coexist within the action of making dances spontaneously.'

The seminar consists of a reflection and study derived from texts and theorists who deal with the body's re-appropriation in contemporary thought. Free the body or free oneself through the body?

Master in Contemporary Arts Practice & Dissemination Final Projects Presentations (2007-2009).

A five day intensive practical and theoretical Lab workshop about different approaches to textual practices in collaboration with the MA Program MACAPD (L'animal a l'esquena / University of Girona). This Lab was led by Ric Allsopp and was open for artists and professionals from different disciplines to participate.

The Lab focused on the relationships between writing (using found, remembered, and existing texts); the physical experience of place (in process in everyday and local environments); and the construction of personal and public memory (as textual practice). Participants were involved in making book, page and sound works, presenting 'small memories' for the public that are derived from embodied experience and found or assembled materials. The workshop started with recent and historical examples of textual practice and performance.
