Dance Workshop – Body & Awareness
From Lourence Louppe’s perspective, dance is constituted as a practice of knowledge: the body is not merely an instrument of execution, but a space for thought, memory, and sensitive inscription in the world. The experience of movement, more than the reproduction of forms, evokes an expanded awareness, where gesture is understood as the production of meaning.
Dance invites us to see the body not just as a form, but as a space for listening, creation, and thought. Gestures transform into living experiences, revealing new ways of feeling and inhabiting the world.
This workshop explores the connection between movement and awareness. Through improvisation, mindfulness, and dialogue between sensitivity and imagination, each participant discovers their unique movement language.
Body & Awareness is an invitation to dance as a form of knowledge — a meeting with yourself, others, and the creative force of the moment.
Teaching Philosophy & Notes
In classes and workshops, Sofia Silva provides tools to help students develop their expressive uniqueness. Exercises guide participants so that dance arises from an internal felt experience, making the body a visible expression of that sensation.
Themes and exercises focus on observation, breathing, alignment, contact with the floor, weight, dynamics, space, time, touch, intensity, impulse, energy, flow, balance and imbalance, activation and slowing down, and movement construction and deconstruction. These elements support both the structure of the body and the art of dance itself.
