Workshop Description : The Gati Dance Forum presents 'Approaching Composition' a workshop with Davide De Lillis and Julia Metzger-Traber.
In this five day workshop, the main focus will be to explore different ways to compose bodies in space and time. The composing will be practiced using our internal impulses, through researching qualities of movement, shifting focus and awareness, and responding to the bodies and environment around us. Using View Points as a guide, the composition will be broken down into its basic ingredients of spatial relationship, architecture, topography, repetition, duration, tempo, kinesthetic response, emotion and quality of movement in order to train composing from within the scene as an improviser and from outside as an external choreographer. Throughout the workshop, we will challenge our assumptions about use of space. Davide De Lillis performed in Tino Sehgal's ‘This Variation’ for 100 days at Documenta13 in Kassel, Germany and at the Manchester International Festival. Davide has been a member of Compagnia Esse p.a. under choreographer Alessandra Luberti and Officine Ouragan for director Claudio Collová. With them, he toured Italy and under their mentorship he received training from internationally-renowned performers in physical theater, contemporary dance, Butoh, contact improvisation, movement research, and improvisation. 
Julia Metzger-Traber is a US/German based performance artist. She studied dance and physical theater in Massachusetts, New York, Oakland, Dublin, and Poland, most notably with Harupin-Ha, Butoh dance company, the remarkable women at the Grotowski Institute, and Anne Bogart’s SITI company. Her degree is in social and critical cultural theory as well as performance art. Hand in hand with her performance work, she has done street outreach and Harm Reduction and has taught dance and theater across the US.
