with Marcia Liu (HK/BE)

How to make rules in order to break loose? I am going to share my practices to transform imagination into physical impulses, and vice versa. The workshop will begin with simple warm-up and exercises to loosen the tension in the body; by unblocking certain forms and ideas that we inhabit, we wish to welcome and invite new physical awareness and impulses. 

We will practice to listen and make use of this new availability to create.

with Milla Koistinen (FI/DE)

The workshop will focus on exercises and improvisational methods I use in my work. We will explore specific tasks I have used during the creation of the piece presented at the festival.

The exercises are designed to evoke precision, clarity, lightness, energy, presence and dynamics. During the workshop we will discuss starting points for working, sources of inspiration, how to translate ideas into movement and physicality, and how to define, compose and structure materials.

with Petra Hrašcanec (HR)

Petra’s work explores bodily function to give a kinesthetic feeling of dance. Through guided exploration of everyday movement the participants are going to create a dance in their own anatomical structure and discover the patterns of dancing together in space through games.

Every movement has a form and a function. By discovering the function and testing the realm of the body, we can open ourselves to freely use our creative thinking gaining authenticity.

with Riina Kalmi (FI)

Riina approaches dance and movement having as main focus the functional use of the body and a creative decision making. Awareness, sensitivity and adaptivity in movement is explored by set movement phrases and improvisational tasks.
