My pedagogy is focus on making students reflect; feel, think, use their intuition with a pragmatic approach.
It is important to note that the aesthetics that I offer in my performances is in no way demanded of my students. My main purpose for teaching is focused precisely in that each of you find his or her own inimitable manner of presenting aesthetically their performances. Every artist has an unique visual message to offer, and that authentic "signature" is what will be developed in this workshop.
Rather than teaching how to create performances, the paramount objective is to focus on a conceptual approach and awaken the creative mind. Based on my proposal the students will train themselves from the very beginning in the creation of performance pieces in an experimental laboratory setting.
