Emio Greco|PC

The workshop Double Skin / Double Mind represents the basis of Emio Greco | PC's creative work. Through the years, this workshop has developed into a clear structure in which participants are challenged to explore their own creativity by learning new ways of dealing with their bodies.  Breathing, Jumping, Expanding, Reducing and Transfer are the terms that describe the main parts of the workshop, in which body and mind cooperate to achieve a physical metamorphosis, blending the form of the movement with its intention.

Double Skin / Double Mind can be presented in a two-hour workshop, as well as in intensive master classes lasting from one to two days.  Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten challenge the participants to apply physical choices to various impulses: words, environmental sounds, and music.  The main focus is on how movement-with the dancers as individuals as well as in relation to each other-can be redefined through a synergetic environment where the body must encounter its helplessness and hopelessness in order to reach its strength.
