11:00-13:00
Studio 3
What happens when the body is no longer experienced as an individual territory, but as part of a shared space? Through movement, sensory awareness, repetition, simple performative scores and exercises in relation, this workshop explores how bodies can listen, respond and support one another. Participants are invited to move between individual and collective states, exploring presence, trust, vulnerability and interdependence. The workshop is process-based and welcomes different levels of movement and performance experience.
