Summer Workshops: little loco(motion) / los little guys

The little loco(motion) workshop is led by los little guys, a group formed by the dance artist Erik Elizondo and Dimitri Kalaitzidis. In this workshop we will focus on elements of physical investigation based on the study of movement improvisation to discover the range and complexity of our physical potential.

During the little loco(motion) workshop we will constantly be adding impulses and accumulating complexity through the layering of focus in our body as an approach to improvisation. As the body becomes more stimulated and even overwhelmed, the focus will become to transition energy into playfulness in order to create new movement patterns, break old habits, and activate specific areas of the body which may be blocked.

Once we begin to enter this trip and we give enough time for each person to find their own rhythm, we will begin to take these structures and add additional levels to coordinate and rethink how to move through space. The goal of this workshop is to offer a different perspective on how to enter into an improvisational practice by challenging the body, the mind, and the connection between the two; how to bring more consciousness, clarity, and variation into the way we mobilize and how to use this information to continue developing and enjoying our individual research.

The little loco(motion) workshop is directed towards experimentation and while the los little guys will be guiding and providing tools to take away from the experience, their main aim is for participants to feel encouraged to try new things and find pleasure in movement.

This workshop is open to all types of bodies and experiences with movement. It is for everyone interested in movement, from dance professionals to enthusiasts.
