Permeable Tissues
“An encounter in which the body does not react from habit or automatism, but from a subtle, open presence truly attuned to the present moment.”
Jesús Alonso
Movement researcher and CI dancer. My work focuses on dance understood as an exploration of bodily sensations and the poetics of movement.
Dance as research of movement that arises from the body's internal listening and transforms into a way of being present, inhabiting space, and relating to others.
I have participated as a teacher at Flow Festival in Warsaw, Mediterranea Contact Festival, Sicily Contact Retreat, and Innercore Festival in Portugal, and I teach regular CI classes and workshops in Madrid. Together with Sofia Calvarro, I form the contemporary dance company "La Buenisima".
Permeable Tissues
A somatic research space focused on the opening, tuning, and attunement of our own bodies as a fundamental preparation for Contact Improvisation. The workshop proposes a conscious practice of softening and relaxing the tissues, removing the noise and tensions that often mask our genuine sensations. By releasing these layers, the body becomes transparent and receptive, allowing perception to emerge directly and without filters. This tissue availability enables us to refine deep listening and sustain a genuine dialogue with the other; an encounter in which the body does not react from habit or automatism, but from a subtle, open presence truly attuned to the present moment.
