Dance Beyond Borders
5th to 7th of July 2024 (Friday to Sunday)
10:30h - 12:30h
Designed as the inaugural workshop for our three-day residency, these daily morning sessions will happen each morning during the residency. We will focus on fostering a safe exploration of movement and community among participants. Over the course of 2 hours of Movement and Dance Practice, we'll embark on a journey that transcends codified techniques, steering clear of colonized practices.
Drawing inspiration from Somatic and Community Dance Practices, we will guide participants to explore connections to themselves and each other, utilizing open language and universal movement. Dance Beyond Borders will share our emerging practices, emphasizing a celebration of the diverse bodies and histories present in the space. This workshop serves as a vital foundation, preparing the community for the artistic research and practice that will unfold over the next three days.
Explorative Practices:
- Centering and Grounding: Breath Work
- Awakening the Body Practice; a celebration of our parts and our whole body in Movement; with basic body actions.
- Energies and dynamics - how do we feel today?
- Games centered around Play related to Maps and Time Travel.
- Responding to Text through movement.
