The programme
At the centre of the first two days of the workshop is the body, understood as the primary instrument of expression. The objective of the lessons is to explore the possibilities of the body and the space it occupies, through a series of physical and mental exercises that overturn common ideas regarding its normal working, its automatisms and behavioural codes.
Images and videos will be projected during the third day to reveal the role of the body in the history of art, both as the subject of works and as a medium.
