3h Movement Polylogues

Workshop

What to expect during the workshops?

These workshops are happening once a month, usually with a duration of 3h. Below a description of each workshop. 

This is a time to go deeper than in a usual class. A time to really move and get yourself to another place. I see movement, dance, improvisation, and physical theater as tools to go beyond the mundane. To enter a playful, insightful world alone or with others. To make experiences that we can not plan, neither explain.

THE POLYLOGUES

COLLECTIVE IMRPO /W LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC

#Group Journey, Partnering

The class combines improvisation, partnering tools and exercises and at the end bringing everything together into a group journey. This class is usually happening every Sunday. Just this time we have lots more time to get into the body and we will collaborate together with a live musician sending us to another planet with a music set created to bring a visceral, fleshy quality into the body.

NON-DUALITY MOVEMENT with ZSÒFI BÖRCSÖK

#Improvisation, Exploration

A seeming sharing of something that is infinitely nothing beyond all.

This class has no aim. The seeming you and all the seeming happenings are beyond something that words could describe. So, let some simple, joyful and fun moving happen! Except that there is no one letting it, it will just as if. These bodies are perfectly and beautifully being what they are and yet they are not. Movements are seemingly happening in the stillness of the studio as well as everywhere else if there was something that’s not this. Some instructions might appear in a clear and direct way, but nothing that you must follow. Freedom includes the movement of bodies however that may be.

ORGANIC INTERFACE + THE JAM (FULL DAY)

#Partnering Tools/Exercises, Group Connection, Intensive, Physical and Mentally demanding

A full day to explore improvisation tasks in duet, trios and bigger groups. Working on different movement qualities and the listening state. We use the technical tools to be able to translate the physical state into an emotional layer and vice versa. Our bodies will open up to a theatrical state, allowing the movement and voice to become one.

At the end of the day connected as a group we will open up the space for a 2,5h JAM that has no limits. A journey that will unfold, many stories within one big one. Bring your costume or object to the space. There will be a microphone with sound effects available to manipulate the space. 

HUMAN PERFORMANCE LAB 

#Performance, Playful Experimentation, Physical Theatre + Dance

In this workshop we will use movement tools to connect not just between each other but as well to tell a story to an outside eye. Be seen as you move and create - how can we influence a performance? What if there is someone taking away the choice for you? How do we use rules to break them?

Learn from watching as well as overcoming the fear of being watched as you explore. This class is playful yet deeply revealing.

NATURES COLLECTIVE NETWORK / DESIRE

#Reflective Improvisation, Nature, Mentally Demanding

Learn from observing nature and bring that knowledge back to your body. It is as simple as that, yet more profound that you can imagine. How much is happening that we usually do not see? How are we interconnected between each other, through an invisible network? This network can be felt if we tune our senses. 

We use natural materials to look into the mirror of ourselves within it. That may be a stone or clay.

TWISTED INTIMACY

#Partnering, Contact, Absurdity

A workshop to use movement, manipulation and weight sharing into a smooth improvisation to relax the tension within your body. It needs time to get to an available state in the body. This is a remedy for you, to feel good - practice guidance and listening on a higher level. 

At the beginning or end we will take time to do a guided massage in pairs using movement and bodyweight. 

In between we will touch on more abstract encounters of intimacy that we can create through movement and voice tasks. This workshop is not about hooking up, but looking at intimacy from a dance research perspective.
