LEIMAY LUDUS SUMMER INTENSIVE

LEIMAY Ludus Training is envisioned by artistic director Ximena Garnica as a laboratory for developing and sharing an instinctive, conscious and rigorous way to cultivate the performer’s body. It is constantly reinvented in conversation with internal and external dynamics rather than relying on a singular technique.
LEIMAY Ludus values training as an act of growing the body through embracing it’s voice, soul, intellect, and physicality. The first annual Ludus Training Summer Intensive is open to dancers, actors, performers, movers and those interested in investigating the human body’s vast possibilities. Ximena utilizes improvisation as a means of personal exploration, thus accessing each student’s individual physical potential so as to develop a unique and individualized movement vocabulary. Class exercises will emphasize concepts and principles such as total body organization and connectivity, energetic dynamics, spacial awareness, intention, and harmony, initiation and sequencing of movement, analysis of shape, and movement invention and discovery.
