CRA’P Workshops 2025
From April to June. One Saturday per month from 10h to 13h.
It is a cycle of three encounters to enjoy the body in movement with the accompaniment of different dance and bodywork professionals.
26 April with Mar Medina
The Alexander technique establishes a relation of the right effort required for being in life. What temporality our way of living inscribes in the tissues? How long does it take me to stretch a mesh? What tone does it need? By listening to time, we propose to enter into the space of corporeality through breathing and deep joint mobility, and from the gaps that open up, to move the dance.
17 May with Cecilia Colacrai
The proposal for this encounter is to generate a space/time for the investigation of movement through improvisation, playing, listening and intuition. We will explore the physical and perceptual possibilities of the body, as well as those of our imagination, operating with simple movement patterns that help us to be available for interaction, observation and openness in dialogue with others.
14 June with Àfrica Martínez Ferrin
Waggle dance is the name I have given to the practice of movement in relation between body and voice. The origin of dance and music is indissociable, they are human manifestations of poetic connection with the world since the beginning of times. In this session we will explore and put into action our bodies and our voices as materials of artistic expression.
Fees:
3 workshops: €80 (€70 for CRA’P members and collaborators)
1 workshop: 30€ (25€ for CRA’P members and collaborators)

While graduating in Art History at the University of Barcelona, she trained as a dancer in different European cities, at Movement Research in New York and with Anne Bogart’s company SITI. Her wide-ranging curiosity about the experience of the body in movement led her to study Alexander Technique and to become interested in other somatic issues in the creative field. She is a practitioner of Tibetan osteopathy. After working as a dancer in different companies, she began to pay more attention to processes than to events, and has dedicated herself to teaching and collaborating in independent projects such as La Poderosa, INFRA-, MovLab, Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Constant Association for Art and Media, or Imarte.
