Working with active instant composition techniques and developing the relationship with the two stringent scores, the workshop will focus on a search for depth of expression and on recognition of one's own interior motivation as a unique factor that is found, that fuses, with others and grows in the dialectic between predefined modes of conduct and open and free performative decisions.
The aim of LAP - which expresses a gestatory idea with which anyone who develops creative processes is all too familiar - is to re-establish the central role of communication between performers who, in that place and at that time, come together to re-compose the work. Constituent and substantive concepts of creating art, such as research and experimentation, awareness and overcoming boundaries, the ethics of relationships, the development of empathy and of the relational context.
