𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The workshop is designed as an inspirational environment for focused practice, creation and learning from self, others and the space. The practice will be grounded in being physically, attentionaly, and poetically available for the immediacy, and intends to enhance and refine our compositional, relational and collaborative abilities. Part of our work will be dedicated to the process of creating conditions in which the ordinary becomes poetic; where everything is alive, meaningful, interconnected and about to change. We will approach: 𝐷𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 as the art of listening. 𝑃𝑜𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑦 as a deeper form of attention, that allows a new language to arise from the embodied experience. 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 as the process of revealing what is already present in the space. 𝘚𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 as a shared ground, space of communication and revelation. The last 3 days of the workshop will be for making a series of improvised dance performances - 'Silent Conversations'.
