Since 2000 Lucio has worked as a performer in different circus, dance, theatre companies and also as an actor in cinema and TV in Argentina and Spain. Also he has collaborated in different projects as a choreographer and director.
I am currently teaching two Creation tools Workshops, in person and online:
1. LUCID MOTION: creation tools workshop: contemporary dance, contact mechanics, acrobatics technique and theatre tools.
Little by little my workshops have become a space to explore that place where theatre, acrobatics, and movement (contemporary dance & contact) meet. The aim of the workshop is to use different creation tools to combine contact-improvisation technique, theatre tools and acrobatic exercises to develope a communicational, expressional movement while we try to reach a complete available open body ready to perform. These tools will be used as a vehicle to open a wide range of possibilities of expression that will be awakened by self-exploring and connecting with our undiscovered, hidden or blocked capacities of expression. We will utilize improvisations bounds by a clear objective as a way to reach new depths breaking the apparent limits imposed by the premise of the activity. We will endeavor to become more aware of what we generate while we move developing an understanding of how what we feel inside relates to how we engage with the outside (space, time, music/sounds, silence, movement, others). We will focus one-on-one exercises but we’ll also participate in group and individual activities.
The aim of the workshop is to combine dance (contemporary dance & contact-improvisation technique), theatre tools and acrobatic exercises to develope a communicational/expresive movement, individual and between two bodies. This communication requires our complete disposition. Besides the body we will try to dance in connection with our thoughts and sensations, paying attention on what we are thinking and feeling while we move, in order to reach a complete, opened, available body ready to perform. We will also try to reach an organic, risky and dynamic dance and just the right tone that our body needs for each movement.
The goal will be to recycle our own energy constantly and use our muscles strength as minimum as we need.
As of 2007 Lucio A. Baglivo resides in Madrid and decides to start showing and teaching his research work on the stages and in the classes. Thus, he teaches acrobatics and acrobatic dance classes in different schools of circus and dance in Madrid. Since the year 2009 dictates a new course: Creation Workshop. A course that proposes to expand the imagination and dive into creative processes, stimulating the creation and search of a personal language for each person who participates.
Lucio A. Baglivo has been invited to teach classes in different schools and circus and dance companies in Spain (Bilbao, Huesca, Pamplona, Granada, Murcia) Argentina (Santa Fe, Jujuy, Cordoba, Buenos Aires), Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece and Italy.
