Atelier with Pau Aran

'Atelier' refers to my pedagogical proposal, which arises after a long career as a professional dancer at the Tanztheater Wuppertal - Pina Bausch and as an emerging independent creator.

It also honors the 'workshop' as a site for experimentation and craft creation. For me, the dance studio is the place where we learn, practice and improve our technique / craft and find a creative identity.

In my methodology I propose a work based on the compositional factors of dance: energy, rhythm, space and form. Respecting the different needs and circumstances of the group, I focus on breathing, repetition, and opposing directional forces.

Composition and improvisation exercises open a dialogue with each performer. I seek to connect them with their personal, unique and perfect expression, beyond their physical abilities. With these premises, we will work through play and pleasure, improvisation and body narrative. The dancers will connect with a personal and authentic expression and develop a greater awareness of their limits, in order to overcome them.

Thus, through guidelines and instructions, the group will develop a resilient, open and autonomous way of thinking. An invitation to personal empowerment, but also to a creative group process to discover, question and expand.
