Workshops

Get a taste of how the Six Viewpoints and experiential anatomy can wake up your senses and bring your whole self into the room. We’ll move, pause, and play with space, shape, and time — loosening old habits and opening up fresh pathways for presence and connection. Come as you are, step in for a moment of shared exploration, and leave a little more alive to your body and the world around you.

Let’s make your smartphone less familiar. Let’s look at it as a site for drama. Screens offer us means of expression and connection, responding to our needs and desires. They are also designed to conceal the deep material violence that makes them possible. How can we use the smartphones we have in our hands to show this hidden life? In this class Emma Bexell shares her practice of site specific “video walks” and introduces them as a way to playfully and critically use the technology to perform the struggle with technology.

Dive into the vibrant world of Embodied Presence in Motion and experience the essence of this masterclass that brings the magic of sensorial exploration, movement, mindfulness, and play together. Let your senses lead the way as you connect deeply with your body and surroundings.

It is a completely improvised dance form where we will tap into the physical awareness of our own bodies as a starting point for exchanging with others. Physical touch will be a further exploration that expands into directions such as sharing of weight, giving and receiving impulses and offering the surfaces of our body as a ground for another person. Through the expanded awareness of our physical possibilities and a playful approach, it seems to be possible to slow down or speed up time as well as uncovering a reality that is characterized by interconnectedness a

This workshop invites participants to explore the mimodynamics of materials like plastic, rubber, and packaging materials which remain on Earth for hundreds to thousands of years due to their slow degradability. Together, we will build a tragic chorus that transposes the movement of these materials, then explore voice and text through their dynamics.
This creative journey encourages curious minds and bodies to connect with the tragedy of materials through movement.
Participation: Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement. Maximum of 16 participants.

For this “PracticeFerence”, a talk that mixes a traditional lecture with simple, hands-on exercises, you’ll get to actively try out techniques related to the topic. I will rely on an article by Gaspard Allens in the magazine Reporterre, titled Facing a Suffocating World: An Ecology of Breath.

I quote: ”What connects the murder of African-American George Floyd, suffocated by the police in 2020, and the megafires? The pandemic and air pollution ? Breathing /.../ Never has the atmosphere seemed so unbreathable and the very act of breathing has become a political gesture.

Here, a responsive communication takes place where the participants communicate via known and never before known materials. It’s a form of sensory experience where we communicate with each other through different materials and let it take time.
