This laboratory revolves around the model for a dancer that I have developed over my more than fifty years as a dancer and choreographer.
It centres around these questions: how to interpret a piece of choreography in a personal way? Whether your own work or someone else’s, in an improvisation context or more formal, so as to serve the needs of the choreography and so that, as performers, we feel it as our own, identify with it.
How to execute it? Indirectly, we shall deal with choreography, improvisation technique or other questions in relation to our profession.

Leonor Leal vuelve a L’animal en l’esquena en un primer laboratorio durante este 2019 para iniciar un nuevo trabajo de solo de esta bailaora de Jerez de la Frontera.
En esta ocasión habrá un trabajo de investigación entre las dos creadoras a partir de la formación en flamenco de Leonor Leal. María Muñoz ha colaborado en las últimas creaciones de Leonor Leal desde la ayudantía artística. Leonor viene a L’animal para compartir con María Muñoz su disciplina e iniciar así un nuevo proceso creativo entre ambas.

The design of the human anatomy, like that of any other animal, encourages movement and this therefore makes us healthy. The progressive loss of awareness of our own vital rhythms leads to badly co-ordinated, inharmonious and restricted movement. Understanding how our organism is structured will help us recover and develop a balanced body language.

In this workshop, David Climent and Pablo Molinero, loscorderos.sc, will look at the way they understand theatre as a creative act and at the performer as creator. The aim is to share their working method so as to approach creation in a non-frontal way, that is to say, not just from the idea, allowing each individual to develop this method within his or her own poetic vision.
In order to do this they will work on two fronts. On the one hand, they will develop and fine-tune the tools of the actor-creator through training: voice, body, hearing and spatial composition. On the other, they will look at creative work by making physical and textual material, working with guidelines on sound and space, with objects and on how to handle all these layers simultaneously to go beyond our own creativity.

Meeting-workshop to experiment with the camera in motion, with Leo Castro, Neus Villà and Núria Font. What happens if the person operating the camera is a dancer who takes techniques used for controlling the body and applies them to make the camera “dance”?

Pep Ramis and María Muñoz offer an introduction to the working method they use in their approach to movement and to the idea and practice of pause-silence. From silence to movement through improvisation born of a chain of decisions in which life experiences, our senses and the possibility of imagining all play a part.

We shall spend five days on a specific study of some of the key aspects of how Mal Pelo understand movement and creation: the spine as a central axis, working from the extremities, perception of the architecture of one's own body in space, precision in writing, density and intensity, inhabiting gestures and movement in the present moment. This workshop will attempt to look more deeply into the use of the basic tools with which each of us confronts his or her limits and capacity.

Body Weather Laboratory USA is a non-profit organization

Body Weather Laboratory (BWL) is a research forum open to anyone interested in investigating expression through the body within different environments.
A demanding attitude toward a thorough reexamination of the body and movement is a main theme in all the aspects of the training. Originally founded in 1978 by Min Tanaka in Japan, BWL workshops currently exist throughout the world, expanding and reinterpreting the format for exploration. The workshop consists of three-parts:

1) MB Training: Rigorous mind/body, muscle/bone training; rhythmical and dynamic.

2) Body Manipulation: A series of specific stretching and relaxation exercises concerned with breathing and alignment. The work is done in couples, exchanging passive and active roles.

3) Body Weather: Explorations designed to sharpen focus and develop the scope of
expression through the body. The work encompasses sensitivity training and discovery of movement from images.

A multi-sensorial approach to the questions: what do we 'see' when we look at dance? what do we 'see' from within the dance?' The scores offer inner and outer communication tools and practices that make apparent the ways each of us sense and make sense of movement. Initiating a playful and rigorous dialogue-in-action about space, time, movement, and the innate desire to compose our experience. Performers/creators of all disciplines (dance, music, visual art, theater) are welcome.

We will be working toward defining a shared but invisible space punctuated by "pathways", the group of dancers creates its own dynamic, flexible and complex language without needing to designate a leader. Several bodies interact spontaneously and harmoniously, as though a single conscience were guiding them.
The passing through takes students through various exercises to manifest Zambrano's philosophy that movement needs no leader in creation. The students will create dynamics that will be flexible and complex at the same time, getting the group to fit tight together, yet always keeping doors open for the unpredictable. The group moves constantly, transforming the environment of the dance. The students work to see the room full of pathways – infinite pathways passing through the walls, the floor, the bodies. These pathways go in any direction and are filled with curves, large medium and small curves. Thus the passing through is created into a spontaneous composition. When the group becomes one mind, it can never get lost, it is always going some where. There is never one person leading or following, every one is leading or following, depending on the situation. The whole group is constantly traveling.
This workshop is very physical. Whoever wants to take it, she/he must know that we are moving our thoughts all day.

A workshop on desire, creation and edition of materials for stage. Writing, reading, meaning, time, silence, context, ritual, representation, aesthetics... will be some of the terms we will deal with and observe together. Others' desires and composition parameters are most surely not my own ones...

Each of us is a unique combination, a particular throw of dice, a manner in which life is presented. Life in each one of us is a degree of potency, it is not something fixed and given forever, but, something continuously becoming, growing and diminishing. These different movements of becoming are personal, they are not guided by identities.

"We are not all moved by the same precepts, nor will we feel attracted by the same concepts... Becoming is a process of desire". (G. Deleuze)

'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.'

This lab-workshop intensive by Rabih Mroué (Lebanese actor, director, dramaturge, and writer) proposes working with the idea of absence from a point of reflecting on the ways in which we relate to the themes of disappearance, emptiness, memory, rumors, war, and death. Open to a small group of performers, theater and dance-makers, writers, and dramaturges, the work sessions will attempt to bring together these aforementioned questions through the experiences and personal circumstances of the participants.

This lab is part of the apap network and the project Autonomía y complejidad.

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.

Performing artists of all disciplines welcome.

This research focuses on the physical base of the imagination. Composition, communication, and performance are the subjects. By altering the way we use our senses while moving and watching movement, we can begin to identify the genetic, cultural and idiosyncratic movement patterns our senses use to construct our experience. These patterns both inform our desire for action and what we see when we are attending to anything. Tuning scores offer tools for communication that cross disciplinary lines and give insight into and practice of performance and dance-making processes.

This workshop focused on issues and questions related to improvisation and the techniques based on the body gravity, weight, spine and movement. Elena Oña was in charge of the documentation of the workshop during her first period of work at L'animal a l'esquena archive.

The workshop is a practical approach to the working method that Mal Pelo uses in their approach to the movement, the creative act and the idea and practice of pause-silence. Going from silence to movement by means of improvising. Improvisation originated in a chain of decisions where the accumulated life experiences, the senses and the possibility to imagine are part of it.

The workshop is a practical approach to Mal Pelo's working method for movement and the creative act, establishing a work based on the learning process about the relationship between the column and the extremities, the possibilities of the movement, the use of the weight, etc.

The aim of this workshop was to examine the potential generated by the temporal and spatial "gaps"generated in the movement improvisation. The workshop gave rise to the following questions: "what is a "gap"?, is it a simple pause, a gap?, how to get these gaps, once located in a precise way, make more intense the perception and improve the material generated by the movement around continuously improvised?

Workshop-Laboratory conducted by Mónica Valenciano composed of a physical and technical training basis and a practical study on composition. Movement was dealt as a sound writing of the body, starting from the use of the breathing focused to the training of the movement, space and voice physical connections.

Creation workshop lead by Opiyo Okach . In this workshop Opiyo Okach shared with the participants the experience of multiplicity as she understands it in her own work. Taking as the basis the framework of her own current piece 'Shift...centre', she invited the participants of the workshop to explore questions related with body, space, perception and presentation.

For more than two years, Mal Pelo's creation works have been processes shared by Pep Ramis and María Muñoz. With their seminars Mal Pelo makes and approach to movement and to the creative work, establishing a reflection work around the topics proposed in the practical exercises.

Laboratory about Writing-Body-Memory conducted by Ric Allsopp. This laboratory was the continuation of the workshop held in April. In this occasion the laboratory had the participation of the same attendees with the aim of deepening on the exploration of the relations between writing, body, and the construction of the personal and public memory.

Intensive workshop with Lisa Nelson. This course investigated the physical bases of imagination through composition, communication and performance.

Intensive workshop located in the natural scope of 'L'animal a l'esquena' directed by the creator and dancer Hisako Horikawa. In this workshop were achieved various creation techniques linked to mainly oriental traditional working tools in relation to body outdoor and indoor spaces. Working days were scheduled in various timetables during the day but considering the night as a possibility to search for creativity.

This workshop met dance creators and artists that work in the 3D animation field and other conventional techniques to exchange, explore and investigate movement and the choreographic space through animation. This workshop was an initiative of NU2'S association and Santi Fort from the Pompeu Fabra University.

Workshop – laboratory carried out by the Company Mal Pelo. In this workshop a work pattern was used which allowed each person to achieve a study and a thinking over about the relation between the column and the extremities, weight use, suspension, and the use of momentum to achieve trajectory changes and the possibilities of movement from the extremities natural way of moving about.

With the aim of opening artistic processes of get together and creation from different cultures and artistic experiences that form the shared space Euro-Arab opened to the Mediterranean. 14 creators from Turkey, Palestine, Italy, France and Spain were invited to the residential. The first week of the get together was coordinated by Lisa Nelson (USA) and María Muñoz (Celrà, Girona).

Workshop conducted by Mark Tompkins who developed a series of improvisation structures and games from internal and external concentration, simultaneous time, state changes and the relationships between observer and actor, either as a performer or as spectator, with the aim of opening and sharpening sensations and perceptions. How to avoid the overweight?, how to be aware in an active way?, how to do nothing and, despite that, to perform?
