The experience of a collective creation workshop led by Rafael Cañals consists of integrating methodologies that allow the artist/dancer to delve into an exploration of their idiosyncrasy along with the generation of a shared vocabulary that unifies the group expression. In the development of the material, improvisation as a practice of composing dances, experimentation, and a variety of codified movements that arise from Rafael’s artistic practice coexist, such as falling, undulating, spiraling, being off-center, and erroneous dynamism.

These tools will facilitate, in the context of contemporary dance, a vehicle for corporal expression of identity and choreography as a study of space, time, energy, and live composition. The process aims to be a laboratory space where everyone, with their backgrounds and contexts, contributes to the development of an artistic work, without hierarchies, without technical impositions, and without expectations. The final sample is to put a period in a discourse that continues to unfold to the rhythm of movement, music, text and other interdisciplinary convergences.
