A Dance Workshop on Voice, Movement, and Spatial Awareness . . 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽: As Ong and Toffee are in the process of practicing performing 'for nature' in urban public spaces, we'd like to share some exercises and dance scores we created with our friends in Singapore in a creative workshop format. "𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬" is a movement-based workshop that explores how we use the body and voice to sense, communicate, and connect—with ourselves, each other, and the spaces around us. Rooted in ecosomatic practice, this workshop draws on techniques from authentic movement, shamanic voice work, and community-based dance. Inspired by the experiences of blind perception, contact improvisation and alternative storytelling, we move beyond sight and traditional forms, opening new pathways to sense and express. We treat the body not just as a mover, but also as a listener, a resonator, and a storyteller. . . 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲: Body and breath awareness: Understanding how voice emerges from the body, starting from the organs of breath Listening through the body: Sensing vibration, resonance, and sound beyond hearing Voice and space: Exploring how voice moves through different parts of the body and architecture Solo and group improvisation: Using movement and sound to express inner states and shared stories Duet practice: Exploring different roles (mover/witness, sounding/responding) to deepen connection and empathy Composing with environment: Using sound, movement, and awareness to co-create with space and structure 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹: Develop personal and collective “scores” or compositions that emerge through deep listening, relational presence, and embodied exploration. We’ll work both indoors and outdoors, using architecture and environment as collaborators. . . ✅No prior experience with voice or dance is required. This space is open to movers of all backgrounds, and is especially welcoming to those interested in experimental performance, somatic practice, or community dance.✅ . . 📍 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: MIAO DANCE (18 Boon Lay Way, #10-123, TradeHub21 S609966) . . 🟢𝗧𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽, please express your interest to our Assistant Director, Titisa 'Ice' Jeamsakul.
