What is a "sponge" group performance?

It is a flashmob-movement-training-playful-meditation... reinventing our plasticity in the public space.

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)
