Body, Gender, and Movement offers the opportunity to deepen the understanding and practice of dance from a gender perspective. The intention of Sergio R. Suárez is not to demonstrate to others what bodies can do, bu to pose possibilities and ways to know body more deeply, moving it with full freedom and translating this into an honest and affectionate artistic practice.

The workshop is structured around a practical session focused on the exploration and
deconstruction of movement and includes warm-up and body awareness, group discussion on various issues related to gender, identity and expression, deconstruction and reconstruction of movement, guided improvisations.
