Martin Inthamoussú
Martin Inthamoussú is a dynamic force in the renovation of Uruguayan contemporary dance. A choreographer and dancer, he is renowned for provocative socio-political dance explorations. For Inthamoussú, “choreographic creation is a reflection on a human theme - a conscious and visceral synthesis.” He is a passionate artist whose dynamism is also felt across Europe through his works in the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. He is the director of COMPLOT, a company dedicated to his dance innovation, which tours across South America and Europe. Martin is the Director of the annual Festival de Danza en Espacios no Convencionales in Montevideo Sitiada. An active teacher of contemporary dance he provides extensive training in choreographic workshops on his concept of "outer space" and technique classes. In technique, Martin utilizes ideas in both traditional and non-conventional use of body and space building skills, stamina, focus, musicality and anatomy.
Class Description
Aims: The idea is to offer practical classes on contemporary dance technique. To be expressive, dancers bodies must be trained and articulated as a basic working tool. Through these classes a basic training is offered in which he/she can develop both technical and performance quality at the same time.
Modality: The class will start with a Yoga/Pilates warm up and stretching exercises, developing concepts that help to free natural and creative movement. Techniques such as release technique, floor work and flying low will be studied in the classes. Strength, alignment, coordination, musicality, space, focus and anatomy will also be brought into play.
Technique in movement: We will work on different scenic skills from an anatomical and functional point of view. Body awareness will be of major importance in the formal understanding of choreographic phrases. All this work will be done in relation with music, silence, space and time.
Physical Conditioning: Coordination, stamina, strength, and anatomic learning. Focused on the use of the skeleton and muscles we will work on repetitions and organically structured movement. At the same time we will look for a rising of cardio rhythm to generate conditions for a complete physical integration.
