The architecture that dances

Architecture is present since we are born and the way of living builds us. During these sessions of The architecture that dances, We will try to reflect on the tools for exploring space that this discipline offers us.

Session 1 -7 of November. THE BODY AS AN INSTRUMENT OF THOUGHT.

The most complex architectural body is undoubtedly the human body, which is what the dancer uses as a tool for appropriating space. In both dance and architecture space is created, is ordered and hierarchized in a composition. And both disciplines share a spatial vision and a very similar creative process., in addition to working space as raw material. The body as an instrument to apprehend the architectural space, to go through it. We reflect on the way of inhabiting the school from proprioception.

Session 2- 14 of November. INHABITING THE SPACE

We talk about educating in living. The architecture can be visited, learn, but above all it must be traveled. The perception of our body and its actions is associated with the experience of the environment, and they affect each other. We analyze some experiences of encounter between space and dance, and on how to incorporate them in school.

Session 3 – 21 of November. CHOREOGRAPHY OF THE LOOK.

By the hand of Bárbara Díaz Ríos, choreographer and dance teacher, co-director and coordinator of innovation projects and performative research, and with Eneko Lorente Bilbao, teacher and researcher in dance and visual arts, we analyze the relationships between the space, cinema and dance from the experience and research of his danced lectures.

Saturday 28 November at 6:00 p.m. a session will be held open to the general public in which materials and reflections generated in the workshop process will be shared.
