About this Event

Body-Space Lab is open to everyone (no experience required) and is followed by an open jam. This time we will explore the relationship between body, space and the decisions that we intuitively make in this interaction. Taking intuition as a sophisticated memory that is present in unforeseen moments as a spontaneous response, we will explore the body as a sensor capable of perceiving macro and micro gestures, transform this information in movement decisions. A sensitive state where we have the ability to observe another body in a non-everyday way and as an infinite field of forms and possibilities. Each movement, each new space offers unique situations where we can explore different constructions, responses, and variations. The "error" is only a new possibility. The connection and disconnection also create a dynamic. We will search for playful ways of relating to yourself, other bodies, space, and objects. Key ideas: Body as space and space as body. Intuitive movement language Contact points and separation. Concept of body and space as a unity. 19.30 - Tea & Chocolate 20.00 - Lab hosted by Raul 20:30 - Jam 22.00 - end / open space Practicalities: Sliding scale donation for participation : € 5-15 (please bring cash) Location: Brouwersgracht 140d, Dansstudio Stichting de Lichting.
