Liquid Bodies is a somatic practice that explores the symbolic dimension between dance, space and ritual manifestation; it promotes the development of self-awareness, collective care and connections through movement and touch.

The laboratory explores the body’s capacity to create sacred aural spaces that enable physical suspense throughout intuitive perception, the advantages of imprecision, atmospheres, visions and processes of transformation. LB attempts to reach places where the material, the spiritual, the experienced, the remembered and the imagined constantly merge and manifest.

The practice favors the naturalization of the relationship between the body that moves and the body that can narrate and sing, it delves into the scope of bodily ingenuity through principles of visual perception and interdisciplinary translation methodologies.

The training prior to the research sessions consists of pleasant stretching, gentle manipulations, intuitive movements, and vocal exercises, which will help us immerse ourselves in the living dimensions of language, instinctive singing, and eloquent embodiment. Participants will find ways to give rise to authentic and versatile experiences, reaping a new creative freedom.

This laboratory is aimed at people interested in research and creative processes around the somatic, visuals & performing arts. No previous experience is necessary to participate, just an openness to the simple exercises and the democratic potential of individual manifestation.
