CREATIVE DANCE
& BODY EXPRESSION
Laura Ibañez
From 9:30 to 11:00
Under 14
In this creative dance and body expression workshop, participants will explore the different possibilities of the body as a tool for expression and movement through various games and exercises, to foster each individual’s creativity while also developing coordination and musicality. Body awareness, listening and teamwork, rhythm, imagination, and the identification and embodiment of emotions will be encouraged, in order to express them through dance, thus connecting with oneself, with others, and with the audience.
In addition, the workshop will introduce the basic principles of contemporary dance, such as different movement qualities, the relationship between space and the floor, as well as basic notions of contemporary technique. This learning will provide tools to expand participants’ movement vocabulary and build confidence in movement. The main goal is, above all, to enjoy movement and dance within a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment, where each participant can grow artistically and personally at their own pace.
She is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher from Amposta, currently based in Arnhem, Netherlands. From a very young age, she discovered the power of dance through performing whenever she heard music and through the connection created with others. Continuing this search for connection, she believes that embodying emotion and performativity in dance is a way to touch and reveal the emotional landscapes that people often keep hidden within. As a creator, she is interested in immersive and site-specific creative environments that combine theatricality and physicality.
She has collaborated with international choreographers such as Anne Suurendonk, Rakesh Sukesh, Roser López Espinosa, and Albert Galindo. A significant experience for her was attending the Assemblée Internationale in Toronto in 2022, where she participated in a choreography by Nnamdi Nwguru and began her introduction to the professional dance world.
