Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop invites participants to explore, through the body, what it means to move as an \u201cavatar\u201d: an expanded, unknown, altered identity. Inspired by the universe of the choreographic installation ANGEL VR, we will work to deepen how to create an identity parallel to ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through group reflections and guided improvisations \u2014 solo, duet and group work \u2014 we will investigate what happens when we create our avatar, share it with another person, and transform it collectively. The workshop combines play, perception and performance-making, with no previous experience in virtual reality required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
