“For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on Earth.” ~Sanskrit proverb WORKSHOP ::::::::::: La Healing Machine by Aleha SOLANO ::::::::::::::::: <<The Healing Machine>> How to deal with presence in action. First, we work on the scenic principles developed by Theatre Anthropology; touring techniques 'expand' the stage presence of the performer. For this exercise from the physical training that makes the body an extra-daily body proposed. This base will serve to the participants for investigate the everyday space of the city from a different perspective, where I own moves and gives room for unforeseen situations. In this way participants will be invited to develop a tour of some landmarks in Miami (individual or collective), following surrealist logic leaps and thought associations or by following routes that belong to the individual memory and / or collective of the city, but introducing elements of estrangement. So the performer begins to experience the city through his/her body in a different way and this creates reactions and unexpected situations. After these tours we call 'ethnographic' each participant can make a product (the result of that journey) from that experience. One way to tell the city from the local pedestrian memory passerby the body itself. We will take as examples the works of Sophie Calle, or tours of the associative memory of the first surrealists. We will take the suggestions of Walter Benjamin, Michel De Certeau and self-ethnography to make concrete that vague experience that is living in dense urban space of meanings.
