Workshop – HIP

© João Peixoto

From the research work for the solo HIP. A Pussy Point of View, Piny proposes a workshop whose idea is to deal with freedom or trauma through pelvic movements, learn about different dance styles and their origins and create greater attention about the relationship between culture and dance, ritual and performance, old and modern.

The hip as a weapon, as a center of reflection.
