With ticket or single class:

Ticket for 10 classes: € 70

We want to invite participants to investigate four main aspects that we consider essential to our practice as artists: the sensitivity of being, the control of constraints, the availability of the unknown and the creative adaptation to challenges.

The class will address the efficiency of movement and explore the range of creativity that comes with a better understanding of physical limits. Play will be the primary tool for discovery and exploration in both our improvisations and our partner and group interactions.

We will seek a greater awareness of the patterns of our physical structure through games that address stability and accuracy in aiding our decision making. We will play with the plasticity of our imagination through physical and creative challenges and use it as a starting point for instant composition.

The training of these principles will allow an articulated and expansive movement to be deployed in space. We are eager to share tools that allow participants to investigate their own movement and challenging practice beyond technical constraints. We are interested in the quality of the relationships we cultivate with ourselves and with others, forming a sensitive and receptive body that can give rise to our imagination and support our performative state.

Clémentine Télésfort and Lisard Tranis

Clémentine Telesfort (FR) and Lisard Tranis (CAT) are two dance artists who have worked together since 2017 with different companies such as Guy Nader & Maria Campos and Lali Ayguadé among others. Over the years, they cultivated a common language that led them to start their own artistic path as collaborating choreographers. Both were part of the VERVE postgraduate company at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance where they both received the 'Outstanding achievement Award' for their year.

Before that, Lisard trained at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona and Clémentine at TrinityLaban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London. Since then, each has continued to work with international choreographers as performers, but also collaborate with circus artists, videographers, musicians and photographers on collaborative projects and commissions. They have been collaborating artistically since 2019 in research and scenic creation focusing on movement and body expression as a communication tool. Their meeting point lies in the interest of investigating bodily states that lead to the embodiment of images, characters and stories. The common imagination they build starts from the curiosity to explore attention as a dramaturgical instrument, an ode to presence, which leads them to create works where the everyday gives rise to the poetics of the subconscious.

Their first joint creation, Scotoma (2021), was presented at several national and international festivals. And in 2023, they created their first full-length play for theaters, La Mecànica de l'Infortuni. They are regularly invited to teach internationally, at festivals or as guest artists at institutions and professional trainings. And it is through the teaching of their partnering workshop, "The Attentive Act," that they continue to investigate and deepen their own physical practice, while continually expanding their understanding and curiosity about movement.
