The Tuning Score is a group improvisation practice developed by post-modern dance icon Lisa Nelson. It explores connections between movement and language, spectators’ expectations, attunement, and noticing what kinds of things we enjoy watching in performance. In this experimental perverted version, the twisted mind of choreographer David Bloom replaces some key phrases, bringing about an instant group composition allowing for (although certainly not requiring) nudity, consensual sensual interaction, and irreverence for dance history.

Minu is an Egyptian, Berlin-based belly dancer, actor and performance artist with a strong focus on somatic movement. Alongside their artistic work, they are currently studying Body-Mind Centering and have been exploring a wide range of somatic practices and movement education over the past years. Their Somatic Bellydance sessions grow directly from these studies and blend dance, embodiment, breath and presence in a gentle and accessible way. They share their practice in an open, community-oriented format, keeping workshops affordable and welcoming to all bodies. www.al-minu.com
