EDUCATION
AS A PEDAGOGUE / FACILITATOR
FLUIDIFY is a practice that challenges the body, mind and perhaps the soul where tools and principles are given to the participants to find a sense of fluid and endless motion through their bodies, histories and capacities.
The aim is to use the fluidity as a way to discover and transcend oneself’s abilities focusing on the experience and pathway instead of the reproduction of an aesthetic.
Working on diverse techniques, floorwork, rhythm patterns and improvisation tools, playing with physical, emotional and imaginary states to give them a wide range of options to find freedom in their dance.
Each joints are addressed by dissociating them and understanding their amplitude and functions, leading to a clearer proprioception through circles, 8 motions, spirals, sphere images and patterns in the space. The practice is the result of years of experimenting and training different dance styles such as krump, bboying, house dance, hip-hop, traditional dances, modern and contemporary techniques.
Therefore, an environment prone to research, discoveries, playfulness, openness, softness, carefulness and trust is facilitated.
Fluidifying and connecting the spine, center and limbs, jumping from an idea, a movement, a concept to another without interruption, without judgement, getting anti-fragile and free.
The purpose is to find new ways for creativity and expressivity, to develop and nourish the flow state where the participant is simply and only in the present moment, as long as they are able to and as long as they wish.
Nothing is forced, everything is suggested, nothing is serious, everything is a game. At the end, the true meaning is to collectively celebrate, learn, share and eventually, find solace.
He is currently running practices for the Montreal dance community, to gather people, exchange ideas, share energy and dances. He genuinely believes that through movement and share, we can connect people from different backgrounds and styles and go forward together, instead of having a sense a competition and elitism that can happen in our precarious job.
