Ikebana is a project that seeks to combine theory and research playwright. On the one hand seeks to articulate a general speach about the symbolic and formal function of the flower as a set of dance signs; on the other hand tries to articulate, in the form of an intensive workshop distributed in three months (with wide operating ranges), a proposal for construction or dramatic projection around the poetic floral theme approach presented by the users of the shop in question(active designers in the field of dance) ideally leading to the drafting of one or more complete projects.

Ikebana is therefore the result of a collective reflection declined about a formal and symbolic occasion open (the flower as "form of the flower form"); but also the occasion, for a group of dance artists, to practice a dance drama concept which essence is the organic relation, silent "seminal" and between progressive "idea of content and the irradiation of the way as flares.

Silent writing Workshop about a coming dance, but also dramatic strategy workshop in which significance protocols remain largely unexplored.
