This workshop is intended for dance and theatre professionals who wish to develop artistic research processes based on different movement techniques (urban dances, traditional dances, circus, etc.). It aims to assimilate basic improvisation and composition tools and to think about concepts related to the production of meaning in the choreographic work. The workshop is divided into two sections: a first part where we will present certain ideas that will help us to understand how meaning works regarding the spectator's perception. In the second part I will propose to the participants practical exercises and will share with them the tools and strategies, me and the dancers I work with, incorporate, in order to create our own work methodology. We will analyse how thinking and action are related within the creative process and how to work from the dancer training, an articulating concept, intuition and improvisation to consolidate a structure through which the meaning of the piece can flow.
