A workshop at the crossroads of circus and dance, aimed at discovering the dance/juggling that belongs to you, creating spaces for individual development, and exploring the relationship with the group.
A Copyleft workshop, designed by Nicanor de Elia, is an immersive and collaborative experience that explores the concepts of sharing, from the individual to collective creation and interdependence in movement. Inspired by the principles of copyleft in computer science – which promotes the free flow of ideas and works while preserving copyright – this approach invites participants to connect through the body, letting go of the notions of individual ownership in favor of a collective dynamic. In these workshops, participants are guided through a series of physical exercises drawn from contemporary dance, improvisation, and collective compositions that challenge hierarchy and encourage mutual appropriation of ideas in motion. It is an invitation to rethink creation as a collective act, where the individual, empowered by propositions, creates without limits, and the richness lies in the sharing and continuous transformation of ideas.
Trainer
Nicanor de Elia
Nicanor de Elia, a juggler, dancer, choreographer, educator, and director, focuses his work on opening emotional spaces and sharing with the audience. He questions the theatrical, aesthetic, and spatial forms of performance. Concerned with innovation, he readily ventures off the beaten path to develop a new transversal language, where the multiple forms of contemporary circus project into the future. With his company NDE, he creates shows at the intersection of dance and juggling; with G.Bistaki, he explores the performance space and object manipulation, and opens artistic and research laboratories with Garage29 (BE). Nicanor engages with circus schools across Europe and other companies to share his experience with new generations.
