embodying poetic state
here is an invitation to open a world with me, to get lost, and to deepen in practice together. we will awaken a physical language through a guided landscape of improvisation, first starting in specific subtlety, attention to functional detail. we identify our form, so to be able to deviate from it, to distort, to dis-figure, to de-form. we will grow from an intimate sphere towards an outward charge, from the floor and through space, from individual attention and then with input from one another. i will offer choreographic material to investigate, to play, to make one's own in the context of a score we will uncover together. in the plentitude of words to describe physical philosophy, i am personally interested in individual expression, intuition, choice making. my aim is to create the creative parameters, which allow the mind to plug in, the body's intelligence to speak, and for expression to find duration. i will bring visual, audio, and writing input from which we can draw inspiration.
please be aware of our early bird special offer for this workshop! you can apply for this offer up until the 24th of march 2024. after the 24th the regular workshop fee applies. applications are accepted up until one day before the workshops starts.
