An Authentic Esenco Dance Movement Workshop in Bangalore Indiranagar at FLUX

FLUX collaborated with Esenco Dance Movement Company lead by Antonella Albanese and Cassandra Bianco from Italy.
The collaboration resulted in a 2-day Esenco Dance Movement Workshop Bangalore Indiranagar at FLUX. The workshop focused on body awareness enhancement and exploration of inner capabilities.

Esenco Dance Movement Workshop Bangalore included activities like guided improvisation, understanding body dynamics and floor work exercises. They aimed at encouraging experimentation and expressiveness in movements followed by choreographies. We explored the importance of stillness and transitional techniques of speed. This helped us in developing better understanding of the body movements and how to express through it.

Esenco Dance Movement Workshop Bangalore: Day 1

The day 1 started with exploring the element of earth through connecting with the floor. This made us sense body movements with guided improvisation and understand the dynamics of the joints. The floor work technique aimed at familiarizing the body to the ground. It made us move efficiently by reflecting energy from the ground and let it pass through the body.

While we gradually started moving our joints from the head to the toe, we also explored the element of fire. This happened through transition in the movements from slow to fast and vice versa that warmed up the body.

After that we did across-the-floor techniques in order to tap into efficiency and put the learnings to test. They helped us to learn how to reflect the energy from the floor and let it flow through the body. This in turn helped us to move on the surface and understand the joint movements. It sensitized us to feel how each joint plays a vital role while moving.

After the techniques, it was the time to learn the choreography lead by Cassandra. The movements were a combination of circular motions, floor work and finding the axis. Each and every step was explained and slowed down nicely so that we could ourselves explored its flow and efficiency.

We were divided into groups and practiced the choreography in order to develop the flow and muscle memory. These movements helped us in understanding the importance of grounding and making the steps bigger to make them visible.

The day 1 concluded with sharing the thoughts and feelings. We were now looking forward to the next day of the dance movement workshop.

Esenco Dance Movement Workshop Bangalore: Day 2

Lead by Antonella, we started with the exploration of the movements with the spine. We easily understood how each joint played its own individual role while moving.

The warm up then led to expansion and contraction of the movements for the flow of energy within the body. This helped us to understand the importance of these expansions and contractions.

As we moved forward, we started with sensing one another’s movements and then replicating the same. The activity included playing with the speed from slow to fast and to pause. It also included exploring how to go effortlessly to the floor and come up by engaging the glutes and core.

We then moved to partner work lead by Cassandra and Antonella. We learned how to reflect to each other’s expressions without being in contact with the partner. We explored how we could communicate with our partners through movement without uttering a word. Rather we observed each other’s movements to understand what the partner was trying to convey. The activity helped us to understand the importance of sensing and communicating through body movements.

Then we moved to choreography as a duet where we used the learnings taken from the partner work activity. It was so interesting to see how our body’s moved when we sensed each other and moved accordingly!

Now, it was time to conclude all the learnings that we got in the 2-day Esenco Dance Movement Workshop.

We were made to convey how we felt about the entire 2-day experience. Each one us started sharing our experience about how we had come close to one another. We also shared how we got to know about our bodies in a much deeper sense. It was a lifetime experience and we got insightful learnings about ourselves.

As FLUX always believes in collaboration and community, it was certainly a wonderful initiative to experience and get benefited by it.
