Inma Pavon Movement sessions are based on a combination of playful creative movement techniques. Her embodied approaches are multidirectional (personal creative research practices & multidisciplinary collaborative projects] and observational of the ‘everyday’. Inma’s passion for the Body’s creative language brings a world of textures, colours, … into the creative practice.
Her sessions are structured with warm-ups (easy stretches, meditation practices, …], ensemble creative performative tools and solo creative practices.
For these intensive 2 days workshops we will be working towards the creation of solo pieces and one ensemble piece too. Both will have elements of improvisation and choreographed movement using text, objects and costumes.
Inma’s has long term professional experience with Theatre and Film projects. She has been part of Damian McCarthy feature films: Caveat, Oddity and Hokum.
‘Inma is a wonderful creative partner to have on set, as she has a clear understanding of visual storytelling & the importance of making performance both interesting and real’. Damian McCarthy (Film Director)
