NINIA GRISITO & JORGE ALBUERNE Movement and aerial silks
17-18 May 2025, Wrocław
About Ninia
I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 22 August 1986.
Restless mover since I was a child, at the age of 8 I entered the Escuela Nacional de Danzas N°1 where I stayed until I was 18, among wooden floors, pianos, resin and pointe shoes.
After graduating from the Escuela Nacional de Danzas, the classic opened the door to the contemporary and I entered the IUNA (Instituto Nacional del Arte) in the Dance Theatre Career, where I studied for a few years, until I decided to continue my training independently.
Friendships and the causes of existence made the circus enter my life; I trained several disciplines but none of them connected with me as the Silk did.
Since 2010, I dedicate my life to the practice of aerial techniques, training, creating, researching, and since 2012 developing my own method and technique of movement with the Silk.
For 8 years I have been part of the teaching team of the first Circus School in Argentina, the Circo Criollo School of the Videla Brothers, in Buenos Aires.
In 2019 I took the EME Training (Experimental Movement Specialization) directed by Jesús Guiraldi, which has meant a turning point in my understanding of movement and its relationship with the aerial.
I give seminars in Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay and Europe, as well as presenting my own creations in festivals and conventions across these regions.
I collaborate with La Bonita in their projects CPT and Circ Trainnings.
About Jorge
I was born in Oviedo (Asturias) a year before the death of the dictator...
I have a degree in Fine Arts from the UPV/EHU and since 1998 I have been training and practising disciplines related to the world of movement and dance. In this sense, I have been part of companies such as Las Malqueridas or RaraAvis.
In 2000, I began specific training in circus disciplines - because until then I had been self-taught - including Acrobatic Partnering, Flying Trapeze and Chinese pole.
I have been part of several companies that have always tried to work from this interdisciplinarity between plastic arts, movement, circus and writing... With this intention Zirkus Frak, Cecilia Colacrai/Jorge Albuerne or VAQUES were born.
As a soloist I have created the shows: Señora!!!, dos, KungFú(hundido), AzzURRo, Anderdesí, NOMARRAMON and INDOMABLE.
I have participated as a performer and/or co-creator in various projects and in collaboration with other creators from different fields such as: Rosa Muñoz, Cecilia Colacrai, José Luis Redondo, Taxio Ardanaz, Antic Teatre, La Poderosa, Tin Can Company, SIDE Kunst Cirque, Les Antonietes, Hui Basa, Colectivo NAQBA, Nilak, Circ Teatre Itinerant, Circo Raluy Legacy among others.
I have also accompanied and coordinated creative processes in the roles of external gaze, direction, search for material and/or writing, such as Envà, Buit, C%RC, En Ebullició, Combinats de Circ 47 and 53, DOMUS (Opening ShowTrapezi 2014), OvviO, Sweet Chilly, Alejandra and NADIE (CRECE 2020 and 2021) and RAIO/BEAM (INAC Portugal).
Workshop Overview / Przegląd Warsztatów
GO INTO THE FLOW
"Materials for the development of movement on the Silk and from the body"
The workshop is aimed at people who have incorporated the basic knowledge about the element, in this case the Silk.
Starting from the desire to facilitate the expansion of awareness of the element and from the body, we will seek to understand its mechanisms and possibilities.
We will activate, from this base, a structuring of the acrobatic movement in the air and focus on strengthening and understanding this physical and aerial awareness, advancing towards the generation of our own individual language.
Key Concepts:
- ✨ Measurement of the body in space
- ✨ Emphasis on projection, supports, and gaze
- ✨ Understanding the Kinesphere concept
Workshop Structure:
- Warm-up based on movement practices on the floor and with partners
- Floor exercises for aerial sequence awareness
- Movement sequences on the mat
- Research-focused exercises on the Silk
- Written summary of the day's practice
Objectives:
- 🎯 Generate open exchange and reflection
- 🎯 Master technical sequences on the Silk
- 🎯 Develop ground-to-air progression strategies
- 🎯 Find individual paths to physical efficiency
- 🎯 Transform errors into opportunities
Important Notes:
- 📓 Bring a notebook
- 👚 Short leotard for Silk work
- 👖 Long trousers for floor work
- 👕 Short-sleeved T-shirt (no tank tops)
Przegląd Warsztatów
GO INTO THE FLOW
"Materiały do rozwijania ruchu na szarfach i z ciałem"
Warsztaty są skierowane do osób, które posiadają podstawową wiedzę o rekwizycie, w tym przypadku szarfach.
Zaczynając od potrzeby rozszerzenia świadomości rekwizytu i ciała, będziemy dążyć do zrozumienia jego mechanizmów i możliwości.
Na tej bazie aktywujemy strukturalizację ruchu akrobatycznego w powietrzu, koncentrując się na wzmocnieniu i zrozumieniu tej fizycznej i powietrznej świadomości, aby dążyć do stworzenia własnego, indywidualnego stylu.
Kluczowe Koncepcje:
- ✨ Ciało w przestrzeni
- ✨ Wzrok, uklad ciała jako elementy stylu
- ✨ Zrozumienie koncepcji Kinesfery
Struktura Warsztatów:
- Rozgrzewka oparta na praktykach ruchowych na podłodze i w parach
- Ćwiczenia na podłodze dla świadomości sekwencji powietrznych
- Sekwencje ruchowe na podłodze
- Ćwiczenia wyzwalające kreatywność na szarfach
- Pisemne podsumowanie dnia
Cele:
- 🎯 Tworzenie atmosfery otwartej wymiany i refleksji
- 🎯 Opanowanie technicznych sekwencji na szarfach
- 🎯 Opracowanie strategii przejścia z ziemi do powietrza
- 🎯 Odkrywanie indywidualnych ścieżek do fizycznej efektywności
- 🎯 Przekształcanie błędów w możliwości
Ważne Uwagi:
- 📓 Zabierz ze sobą notes
- 👚 Krótki strój (wolne kolana;)) do pracy na szarfach
- 👖 Długie spodnie do pracy na podłodze
- 👕 Koszulka z krótkim rękawem (bez topów na ramiączkach)
