Body Expression Workshop with Elka Victorino, collaborator at Ikarus - Research Group of Carol Pizzaro (Odin Teatret)

The workshop aims to introduce its participants to the fantastic world of animated theater through one of its languages: hybrid puppet theatre. The construction and manipulation of individual paper dolls will be developed in the workshop, seeking to provide the participants with practical exercises to initiate the creation, production and manipulation in the Puppet Theater.

The proposal makes it possible for parents to interact with children, playing with them, through challenges of physical acrobatics exercises, trust with the exchange of passive and active roles, letting children have an active role in the meetings and letting ourselves be to marvel and surprise by them, surprising ourselves by the emotions conveyed.

Rafael Alvarez is choreographer and performer, set designer and costume designer, researcher and teacher. Her choreographic work has been performed since 1997 in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. In the last 20 years he has investigated and developed a plastic dimension of movement and composition, revealing a strong visual component in the construction of body-space and choreographic language. His shows stand out for their enigmatic, symbolic, poetic and minimalist use of the body, dance and space.
