dance takes place
Workshop Summer + Autumn 2020
on sensing, feeling and responding to places and exploring movement and performance
...
natural places
urban places
forgotten places
safe or dangerous places
in-between places
the body as a place
...
This outdoor program with Ewelina Zielonka and Jungyeon Kim invites those who are interested in movement research and performance practice in outdoor space. We will work over four weekends through this Summer and Autumn and take thereby different locations for each weekend as our studios/stages.
Each workshop weekend will introduce different exercises and activities to sharpen our body-mind awareness and to discover the given surrounding anew – with open freshness and curiosity. We, as sensing, feeling and expressive beings, will enter into the relationship with our environment and let this relationship inspire and widen our body expression.
We will research, improvise, perform and reflect with and for each other – individually, in duet/trio, in groups. The workshop is open for all levels of experience; yet, respect and supportive attitude towards other people's processes are essential.

The outdoor location will be announced some days before each weekend – together with practical tips for reaching there, as well as information on historical or social context of the location, if applicable.
The participants will be expected to bring comfortable and 'old' clothes and shoes, depending on the location. Although the workshop leaders will research each location in advance for best possible comfort, the participants are expected to be open and ready for improvising around bathroom needs and dressing, if unavoidable.
