Program Overview

Creative laboratories designed to experience a specific creation process beyond the learning of a particular technique. Work takes place in small groups (30 participants), encouraging a deep and intimate creative process.  Participants engage as if they were part of the invited artist’s company, directly experiencing their tools and creative processes. Over the course of one week, these labs become intensive and protected environments, allowing full immersion in the creative process.

Candela Capitan

Bio

Candela Capitán (Seville, 1996) is an interdisciplinary artist and choreographer whose work lies at the intersection of dance, performance, and digital intervention. Her practice explores the body as both medium and support, investigating how power, technology, and hypervisibility shape bodily experience and desire in contemporary society. From a feminist perspective, her work questions forms of representation and the mechanisms of power that traverse bodies and subjectivities, developing a body of work that brings together experimentation, reflection, and artistic creation.

CREATIVE PRACTICES: LIMINAL SPACES BETWEEN CHOREOGRAPHIC COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE

Candela Capitán explores the interstices between choreographic composition and performance. She develops her projects across these two disciplines, understanding that each work requires a specific structure determined by the project itself, avoiding preconceived criteria regarding form or content. During the workshop, a shared theme for collective work will be selected, serving as a starting point for the development of ideas, the planning of structures, the implementation of choreographic composition exercises, and the creation of a defined structure.

The laboratory combines choreographic practice, analysis, and critical reflection, addressing recurring aspects in the artist’s work, such as the effects of communication technologies on the body, the overexposure of the female body, the saturation of images in digital environments, and the dynamics of contemporary alienation.

Maura Morales

Bio

Since 2010 the award-winning freelance dancer and choreographer Maura has been leading her own dance company, the Cooperativa Maura Morales, together with the composer Michio Woirgardt for which she has created a number of full-length pieces since then. With a touring volume of about 50 performances per year the ensemble is one of the most touring (nationally, internationally) independent dance companies in Germany touring regularly throughout Europe, Asia and South America. Maura Morales is also a sought-after guest choreographer and has created commissioned works for numerous state and municipal theatre ensembles

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE HOW, IT'S ABOUT THE WHY

From a deep concern for respecting the body as an ally and not just a tool, Maura offers a workshop in which the initial focus is on sensitive and sensory listening to the body. Through sequences, deep breathing, and warm-ups with improvisation, sensations are awakened and bodily perception is refined.

Maura combines games, energetic dynamics, improvisation, and floor work to enhance awareness of the body in motion. She uses speed as a catalyst that allows this awareness to be integrated into spontaneous, organic, and authentic responses, born of a fully present and engaged body.

Together with composer and musician Michio Woirgardt she will invite you to enter into the language, tools, way of working and creation of the Cooperativa Maura Morales. We will explore the dynamics/rhythms of mov, the valuable guide that music is when listened to attentively while creating. The importance of the why before the how.

The D’Oquendo Method

Program Overview

The D’Oquendo Method, created by Yasser D’Oquendo —a dancer, choreographer, and teacher with an international career—, is a movement approach that integrates technique, body awareness, and animality. Its purpose is to provide practical tools to connect with the body in a holistic way, expand expressive potential, and discover the transformative power of instinct.

This method emerges from many years of professional experience in contemporary, folkloric, modern, and classical dance, and brings together technique, breathing, body awareness, and improvisation to guide each person toward authentic, deep, and fully present movement.

The D’Oquendo Method proposes a way of inhabiting the body through listening and organicity, awakening the expressive power that resides in each individual. A dance that is not only performed: it is felt, embodied, and transformed into a living presence.
