Registration
In this 4-hour extended Movement Research and Improvisation workshop, we will expand our tools and strategies to deepen our understanding of where movement originates, how we place it, the context in which we perform it, and how we can compose space-time with it.
We will explore inherent movement qualities that may already be present but perhaps lie dormant in our bodies. Through tasks, scores, and feedback, we will uncover new ways of moving—both individually and in relation to others, practicing relationality with human and non-human entities.
We will discuss different scores and movement tendencies to build a more comprehensive and versatile toolbox for further development. Moving with, alongside, and in contrast to the music, we will treat it as a powerful and influential element that deeply shapes our decision-making.
Ultimately, we aim to rediscover joy in movement while exploring more complex motivations that drive us to move and dance.
