WORKSHOPS
Choreography is something Luca “Lazylegz” Patuelli views as a living organism – an entity that is constantly changing, evolving and breathing. This philosophy helps him to capitalize on the value each particular dancer brings to the piece. He understands that different body types and ability levels interpret movements slightly different. Rather than making imitation of movements the goal that Luca wishes to achieve and works on with dancers is to push their boundaries and explore various possibilities which, in turn, allows for unique and emotional connections within the choreographies. This appreciation for the unique characteristics each person brings to the table is what makes Luca’s approach to the creative process so effective. Considering not only music choices and theatrical elements but also the welfare and energy of each dancer, he strives to create original concepts and themes brought to life by dancers that best fit the occasion.
Fuelled by his belief that we all learn from one another, Luca’s process is highly focused on valuing the collaborative effort between him and the dancers he choreographs. As such, he is able to tailor special performances based on any event/show/festival organizer’s request.
