This workshop is an invitation to a dance – practice on music (techno, electro vibes), observing states, desires, physicality and rhythms. During the first part we will use scores in order to work on attentiveness and consciousness, introducing tools which will help us sustain later. During the second part we will practice dancing constantly for 60 minutes on music tunes, moving between an individual and a collective dance, as a way to create our own ‘spells’ and to raise aliveness within us. A dance or a protest?
