2 »Authorship-Dance« - Possible Ways of Taking One’s Own Existence as a Basis for Storytelling
April 23 – 27
with Luiz de Abreu
A common approach in contemporary dance is the search for identity and its utilization as basis for the development of form. The workshop will examine the body as potential, as a medium to reveal its political, historical and sexual character: body and life of the participants will act as the starting point. – Personal stories will be the raw material for the creation of performances. The workshop would like to encourage the participants to reflect on our conditions as artists, on our identity and our place in the world.
