From collective sensibility and responsibility to individual needs and visions you will Investigate through a multidisciplinary artistic approach and embodiment, ways to widen the possibilities of manifestation and creation.
What to expect
A day festival: a performance laboratory that brings together the fields of movement research, contact improvisation, experimental choreography, mime, acroyoga and Thai massage. This gathering aims to offer participants a global understanding of the creative processes around the performing arts while showing the capacity for hybridisation and communication between disciplines, as generators of new dramaturgies and other ways of creating and relating. This intense day long meeting, located in a privileged green area of Amsterdam, invites participants to generate an autonomous and versatile discourse. Through the didactic experiments, they will take them on a journey through different work methodologies and proposals that enhance the collective ability of space holding and intuitive narratives.
