The Masked Body
Dance the Internet
Workshop on movement and the body using digital found footage, with Guillem Jiménez
Courses and workshops + Scene
In this workshop we will be looking at (and discussing) the saturation of representations of the body in the digital world. Taking digital found footage from videos of moving bodies, we’ll transfer them from the digital to the physical plane and make them evolve.
The Internet is packed with moving images of bodies, many movements of many different bodies. In this workshop, choreographer Guillem Jiménez looks at the saturation of bodily representation in the digital world. He’ll be sharing the working methodology he used to construct ACLUCALLS, the post-internet ballet that the company laSADCUM will soon be presenting at the CCCB, based on digital found footage from videos of moving bodies that the dancers take from the digital to the physical plane, and make them evolve. The workshop also proposes a practical part in which we will discover and experiment with how the body is affected by this virtuality, based on patterns of improvisation, imaginary and physical limitations.
