Performance Workshop for Body Sculptures

Performance’s being.. becomes itself through disappearance. (Peggy Phelan)

How do collective bodies negotiate autonomy and relationality? How does the individual negotiate community? How can collective bodies change a situation through group dynamics? In this workshop we investigate the collective body versus the solitary body. Playfully we look at the phenomena of interconnectivity of bodies as interrelated systems that function, exchange and share information. Utilising movement, touch and voice work we examine dramaturgical choices in relation to the use of space, participatory interaction and modes of audience reception.

Participative movement intervention with Patricia Woltmann

When you touch something, you touch something that either touches or repels you, that interests you or that has become a habit for you. Everything is movement. How do we share space with each other? What does it mean to be present? Under guidance we explore the moment of movement and rest together. What is practical can become poetic.

Movement activation and impulses by Patricia Woltmann

Bode Museum, Berlin

February 17th 2021 // lab.Bode Pool launch

When is a body alive? The human body as sculpture – embracing the idea of presence and absence.                Sculptures are bodies. As a viewer, you project ‘life’ into the statues contextualising yourself and history.
untitled explores the notion of presence and absence in the contrast with the living/moving bodies and the unliving/standing sculptures. Where is the body immediate, where has it departed?

an exploration into performance

October 1^st – December 9^th  2016
Sharing on Friday, December 9^th at 20.15h
Open rehearsal, work-in-progress

Can we translate our daily, mundane life, how we connect, listen and
relate to each other into a creative process through movement?
As opposed to the idea of economical optimisation, dance works with
what is in the moment.
Looking at both the mundane and the odd, fractions of everyday actions,
continual compositions of new situations arise.

Allowing for connection: Moving through and into space

November 7^th – 10^th  2016

For Professional Dancers
In this training we learn to apply our intuitive knowledge.
A fundamental aspect is the use of breath with focus on the spine in
relation to gravity. Aiming for awareness and connection to one ́s inner
body, the class starts with the focal point of grounding, using exercises from
Klein Technique and Yoga. As movement evolves in more complex patterns,
participants explore the interplay between the qualities of time/weight/flow and
elasticity in the body.
We allow for a buoyant transmission of movement into outer space.
This class can facilitate a space for individual vision, play and collective experience.

Workshop

9^th October 2016

This research workshop examines the connection between dancing and writing.
We will dance and write, using what comes into mind, heart and body.
We will playfully explore the idea of “language” through movement and text.
Write your own words like a rough sketch, a single word etc. and dance it.
Search and find your own voice. Both verbal/written language and movement are
fundamental forms of expression.
Movement, the body, and text communicate in different ways, sometimes they
directly influence each other, sometimes they differ from each other.
With curiosity and humour we try out together various ways of
communication, whilst enjoying the moment of dancing.
We can discover how meaning is made and changed, from sense to non-sense
to sense..
