    La Poderosa, a studio space in Raval run by the Las Santas group (Bea Fernández, Mónica Muntaner and Silvia Sant Funk), grew out of a shared desire to open up new routes in dance. Since 2000, the three women have been promoting their ethos of creative freedom through movement, and their space has garnered a reputation for its inventive approach to contemporary dance.

    For December, they have enlisted the expertise of dancer and choreographer Carmelo Salazar to run an intensive workshop titled Mover El Cuerpo (Move The Body). Carmelo Salazar, co-founder of Tea- Tron (an online “Free Live Arts Community”), has spent the past two decades cultivating an approach to dance driven by diversity and experimentation with different methods for moving the body.

    December’s Mover El Cuerpo sets aside the hallmarks of the technical dance class in search of a more instinctive approach to movement—shifting, for example, attention to the often unnoticed sensations of “rest” and “pause,” and themes of reflection and consciousness. The workshop is a mediation on physical freedom, and there are no prerequisites for joining—all are welcome, from professional dancers to those who have never stepped foot in a studio. Salazar’s only condition is that participants try not to limit themselves and be open to the potential of dance as a means of self-expression.

    You can learn more about Salazar on his Tea-Tron blog, where the dancer posts information about upcoming projects, as well as anything else catching his eye in the world of art and dance.
