This workshop is addressed to people between the age of 7 and 14.
Play to dance, dance to play.
How can moving and non verbal communication override our concerns for the future? Is it ok if we just dance it out for two days?
In this workshop we are going to visit the communication with each other through our bodies and games. Using tools of improvisation we are going to dance the moment, share our dance with the people close to us and enjoy! We are going to visit our thoughts, our concerns, turn them into movement, collective drawings and communicate with each other in a different level of conscious awareness. We are going to try to not care how we look like, how we dance like, how we sound like. We aim to be ourselves with no filters, no past and no future!
A shield of lead, no eye may behold
LEAD is a ritualistic site-specific choreographic performance with spoken text for three women, presented at the Twin Ottoman Bath in Trikala. Through stillness, micro-movement and breath, the work approaches the body as a site of memory, trauma, protection and vulnerability. Lead becomes the central metaphor: a material that is heavy and toxic, yet also protective and insulating.
Three women form a collective body that breathes, synchronizes, shields itself and remains exposed. Breath becomes pulse and a mechanism of connection, while stillness is approached as a way of remaining present within a world of constant pressure, speed and exposure.
Developed through low intensities of sound and light, the performance creates a space of shared silence and coexistence, where the body is allowed simply to exist.
