iNf9t flow (iflow)
Teknikken Infinite Flow (iFlow) er et bevegelsesspråk bygget på kreativitet, kroppsbevissthet og høy energi-intensitet med solid forankring i den afrikanske filosofien Ubuntu. Den norgesbaserte koreografen Simbarashe Norman Fulukia (Simba) vil i denne workshopen gå dypere inn på Ubuntus fellesskapsideal formidlet gjennom samtidsdans, kunst og afro-kultur.
Infinite Flow-teknikk fokuserer hovedsakelig på å gjenoppdage sin flyt som danser og menneske gjennom å skape ubegrensede bevegelser og kroppsrytmer som er overskridende, helende og meditative, akkompagnert av Mbira-musikk. Tradisjonelt har Mbira blitt brukt i forbindelse med Shona-folkets nattlige Bira-ritualer, og kan beskrives som både transcendent og beroligende.
Infinite Flow-teknikken regnes som Vestland Danseteaters kunstneriske signatur.
iNfinite Flow is a way of life, which draws from its name, one consciousness of livity. Infinite Flow is about the feel, simple and effective unlimited movements.
Infinite flow is not so much about the arrangements/positions or labels. The whole session/experience is a journey accompanied by live Mbira music to guide all movers to transit from the physical world and spontaneously flow into a space and place of infinite joy and consciousness.
