Abstract

The article discusses the training and development of the dance artist’s corporeality drawing primarily from the bodily practices related to the work of instant composition, proposed by the British choreographer Julyen Hamilton. For that purpose, a field study of artistic practice was conducted both in the studio and over the workshops. Some of the categories emerging from the analysis of the data collected - quality of movement, reflective arenas and presence – are presented and discussed. This study further suggests ways of working up the body and the choreographic training that lead to an autonomous body, where exercises become performances, out of normative patterns.
