SLAM!
SLAM! is movement-oriented and highly physical, built on the foundation of technical exploration and physical challenges. It prepares you to absorb the fundamentals, using technical set material and improvisation exercises. Building on the physical base, we’ll transition into performativity, exploring how movement can evolve into theatrical expression. Over these four days, we’ll sweat, swipe through the floor, rise to claim the space, and trample on boundaries - both personally and collectively. Together we’ll create a space for exploration, risk-taking, and growth. Naturally… every step, twist and groove will be accompanied by carefully curated, 100% organically hand-picked tunes to fuel your flow.
the description reflects an artist’s idea which was developed at the time it was submitted to b12. it may have changed by the time the workshop or the performance project is starting. please stay flexible. thank you!
