Episode #1: The Body As An Open System with Tijen Lawton
Searching for a Conscious Risk and Trust in the Body – A Hidden Physical Morphology.

OTROS (Other Training Reconforming Other Systems) is the new Portuguese platform dedicated to dance.
It arises in Lisbon from the need to encourage contemporary dance research and support new generations of dancers.
In an accelerated world, which suffers the inability to create a bridge between the art of movement’s heritage and today’s socio-cultural development, OTROS intends to assume a preserving role of dance technique from the ephemeral and volatile tendency that characterises our era, disseminating the remarkable and qualitative practices that have emerged in the last decades and offering a solid and thorough training path in an accessible format to the community.

About the first workshop
THE BODY AS AN OPEN SYSTEM with Tijen Lawton

Artist and educator, Tijen Lawton delves into the body as an archive, merging artistic practice and teaching. Through research and commitment to the unexplainable in movement, she cultivates heightened senses and ignites creative potential.

Tijen’s classes and workshops use a physically & emotionally demanding movement methodology designed to encourage, inspire and build awareness and connectivity in the constant search for movement.

The merging of awareness and action can allow for a conscious risk; a constant fall and abandon in the body combined with an understanding and availability to trust. By defining and refining independent movement materials for different parts in our body and segregating those parts from each other and by investigating a certain sequential order of the body, we can explore multi-dimensional movement and visit new and unfamiliar ways to move.
