ABOUT THE 'TUNING & INVENTORY' CLASSES
The Tuning Practices take as a starting point the relationship between body and gravity and propose to dedicate time to map the body supports on the ground, the supports in the air or in another body, in pause or in movement. It involves accessing bone, muscle, elastic and skin tissues to investigate fractality and multidirectional movement, with the body being able to relate to the imponderable. The Inventory Practices take as a starting point something that has been experienced. The mapping of this experience is tuning from the outside to the inside until it can again include the relationship of the body to the gravitational field. Through the invitation to this singularized inventory, the proposal is that one can open space for an appropriation of the experiences that allows them to be made available as tools for the investigation of each individual.
