Drop-in and free sessions:
possible to come any day... but at least 4 times.
No experience in performance required, only a strong commitment.
What is a "sponge" group performance?
It is a flashmob-movement-training
Awareness of simple physical sensations and interactions between body/space will be the fundamentals of this group practice: pressure, weight, momentum, balance/off-balance, gravity, space in-between people, heart pulse, spine dance, cellular breathing, resilience… Elasticity!
The spongiform participants will have an emerging awareness of play and experiment with the dynamism between absorbing, holding, being full and releasing.
"Sponges do not have nervous, digestive or circulatory systems. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food, oxygen and remove wastes." (Wikipedia)

on the riverside - Phnom Penh
Dance, physical theatre, music, sound, poetry, clowning, visual arts...
Every saturday morning from 8am to 11am
Location : Riverside, in front of night market
Every saturday morning, from 8am to 10am, we'll explore our environment through individual and group improvisations, then create short site-specific performances.
Using interdisciplinary improvisation techniques, we’ll find out how to creatively "resonate" with the landscape, architecture and specific vibration of a site to create unique work.
We will start together on the riverside, in front of night market; with a grounding and energizing warm-up using Contact Improvisation, Post-Modern Dance, rhythmic and vocal call and response... We will allow ourselve to discover new paths of sensing, moving and engaging what is around us.
We’ll look for effortless movements, relaxation and awakeness in our minds too, space in our joints, fluids in-between… so that we can enjoy whatever arises…
and compose some solos, duos... group performances...
Later there will be space to reflect together about our experiences as a group and for ourselves.
These sessions are free : they are designed for committed people who want to practice improvisation and develop their performance skills and/or take part in site-specific projects in Phnom Penh and elsewhere... one of our goals with these sessions is to create a performance collective trained to perform in any public space...

Samedis matin de 8h à 11h
Sur les quais, en face du marché de nuit
Tous les samedis matin, de 8h à 11h, nous allons explorer notre environnement au travers d'improvisations individuelles et collectives.
Et créer de courtes performances in situ.
Nous allons utiliser des techniques d'improvisation interdisciplinaires,
et découvrir comment "résonner" de manière créative au lieu (paysage, architecture et vibration spécifique) afin de créer un travail unique.
Nous commençons ensemble sur les quais, en face du marché de nuit, avec des exercices d'échauffement nous donnant ancrage et énergie : contact improvisation, danse post-moderne, questions-réponses rythmiques et vocaux.
Nous allons nous autoriser à découvrir des manières inédites de nous mouvoir, de sentir et d'engager ce qui nous entoure.
Nous irons vers des mouvements sans tensions ni efforts inutiles, des états de relaxation et d'éveil (corps aussi bien qu'esprit), et chercherons l'ouverture d'espaces fluides dans et entre nos articulations... afin de goûter pleinement ce qui va émerger...
A partir de là, nous composerons des solos, duos... et performances de groupe...
A la fin, il y aura un espace de feed-backs où nous pourrons réfléchir nos expériences en tant que groupe et pour nous-mêmes.
Ces sessions sont gratuites : elles sont destinées à des personnes motivées et engagées, désirant pratiquer l'improvisation, développer leurs compétences en performance et/ou s'impliquer dans des projets de performances in situ à Phnom Penh et ailleurs...
Oui, un des objectifs de ces sessions est de créer un collectif de performers entraînés à jouer dans tout espace public.

Saturday, July 2 · 4:00pm - 6:30pm | |||
| Location | Monique's place, Amrita dance studio, 235b, st 19. And around. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| |||
From 4pm to 6.30pm, we explored our environment through individual and group improvisations. We started together at the studio; with exercises to become more aware of the space inside, around us and the spaces between us. We did a "leader/follower" group exercise and continued with improvisations in duos about changing our muscular tones (from level 0 to level 10). Then some of us moved outside, experienced and connected with the environment nearby. At the end, there was space to reflect together about our experiences as a group and for ourselves : "what is level 0 in tone exercise?" was the main question that took our attention. Warm thanks to all participants, Monique, Marco&Pisey, Fleur, Cannelle, Lyno, Lina (thanks for the photos), Vollak, Rady and Amrita.
