MARIA MORA ALCOLEA
Member and certified teacher of the Axis Syllabus Research Network. Graduated in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. His research focuses on the anatomy and biomechanics of movement. In the field of education and exchanges, she develops experimental projects on improvisation and composition. Together with Ona Fuste, she founded the project "Fascia between Order and Chaos"; an investigation of fascia and its application in Contact Improvisation. In the Col·lectiu Free't, which works on Instant Composition through the language of Soundpainting, and in the VICINI project, where she studies the relationship between body structures and objects based on the concept of tensegrity. Among her stage works stand out Quasi Serenor, an investigation into micromovements and microsounds in collaboration with double bassist Rafa Esteve and Ascendent, a dance solo in which the women of the Pyrenees of the 1920s are in the spotlight.

BODY COLLABORATIONS
Fascia is the substance that connects every part of our body to every other part, an integrated mega-system that provides continuity and offers collaborative relationships. To research in this context, we will look at the different types and roles of the body's connective tissue. It interacts as a transmitter of information, a sensory instrument, a provider of suspension, elasticity, support and distribution of forces. In this course we will explore the architectural notion of tensegrity, the elastic potential of fascia. And also we will use all this information as a poetic support to relay with the space and the improvised dance. We'll also take a close look at some movement patterns in order to put into practice the direct capacity of our elasticity.
