(more on the Summer Camp 2024 here)
The workshop is a movement composition experience that engages participants in activities designed to foster interaction and unity through sensory activation. Emphasizing the diversity and uniqueness of each body, the workshop aims to promote coexistence. Through grouping and interaction, bodies will find themselves in communion, in distance, in vibration, in common rhythm, in imitation, in darkness, in companionship, in awkwardness, in negotiation, in solitary wandering.
Combining elements of dance and experiential education, the workshop encourages participants to discover their personal movement, experiment and interact with others, and explore various approaches to teamwork. Participants will create imaginative maps, captured as choreographic compositions in real-life space. The workshop will conclude with a collective choreographic map.
