"A Transformatory Fighting Training", by F. Holzinger and B. Amadour
Within the programming of
Cuerpa| Duration: | 2 hours |
Based on a training comprising martial arts and boxing, Florentina Holzinger and Btsissame Amadour examine the interface between art and combat training. Both forms of movement serve as sources of inspiration to face both physical and mental challenges.
Together with her personal trainer Btissame Amadour she teaches the ninja mindset which helps overcome one’s fears. On the one hand, this form of preparation is used in the creation of dance and other forms of art, on the other, it is considered an artistic process in its own right.
Florentina Holzinger (b. 1986 in Vienna) lives and works between Amsterdam and Vienna. In her works, she consciously plays with the shifting of boundaries between high culture and entertainment, exploring different modes of female representation and questioning the full potential of female physicality. References to pop culture and a penchant for trash are not forgotten in her works. Since 2011, she has been enriching the international performance scene with her unique works earning her a reputation as one of the “most provocative” new choreographers in Europe. Holzinger won the Prix Jardin d’Europe for her solo Silk at lmPulsTanz in 2012. In addition to her collaborations with Vincent Riebeek, Holzinger created also Recovery as well as Apollon (produced by CAMPO) which is currently touring international stages. She is currently artist in residence at the ICK in Amsterdam.
The workshop will take place at Casa de las Alhajas. Address: Plaza de San Martín, 1, 28013 Madrid
The workshop will be taught in English.
