Warm-up activiies

1) Sea-Breathe: 3-5 Minutes of Breathing according to the Yoga practice. The effect is a vocal one that creates an internal resonance which will later relate to one particular action tailored to the notion of resonance.

2) Walking approaching homogeneous stopping and walking. The practice builds on a general arbitrary but continuous walking in the space for a couple of minutes. After a certain period a stoppage will be initiated until everyone stops. The same simultaneous action accounts for the resuming of walking. Ideally after a certain time of intimate practice, the shifts between walking, stopping and walking again should become homogeneous and organic.

3) ‘Friend and Foe’ walking practice. Each participant chooses secretly a friend and a foe. The practice consists of trying to approach the friend physically as much as a possible and at the same time trying to keep the maximum distance from the foe. This creates very dynamic patterns of movement.
