CONTEMPORARY DANCE WORKSHOP WITH MURIEL ROMERO
Thursday, April 21 from 7 to 10 pm.
Dancer and choreographer Muriel Romero to give a masterclass "Choreographic techniques developed in the piece Neural Narratives 2: Polytopya." This workshop will experiment with movement techniques related to the fragmentation of the body in space and the development of different qualities of movement (fluidity, weight, balance) as well as generative resources and abstractions taken from other disciplines, such as the use of random walks or Brownian motion to generate choreographic structures.

STOCOS INSTITUTE
The Stocos Institute is focused on the analysis and development of the interaction between body gesture, sound and visual imagery. The research and works developed in this field integrate in a scenic context abstractions taken from other disciplines such as artificial intelligence, biology, mathematics or experimental psychology.
The Stocos Institute has produced a series of stage works that function as a form of artistic dissemination of its research: Acusmatrix, Catexis, Stocos, Double Bind, Neural Narratives1: Phantom Limb or Neural Narratives2: Polytopya that have been extensively presented in numerous national and international competitions and theaters.
Likewise, the theoretical body generated during this process has been and is the subject of publications and workshops in several universities and conservatories.
Stocos Institute organizes and produces other activities related to these areas. It is partner of several European Projects such as Metabody, WholoDance or DANCE, producing and working in the development of several activities in collaboration with international partners such as Universitá de Génova, TU Delft, Trans Media Academie Hellerau (Dresden), University of Brunel (London), University of Coventry, Politecnica di Milano or New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) among others. Since 2010 he collaborates in the development of Motion Composer, a technology oriented to the interaction between body and sound for people with disabilities supported by the ONCE foundation.
