This week-long intensive explores the interplay between body and place, investigating how environments—urban, natural, and imagined—shape movement, perception, and presence. Through daily practices, participants will attune to embodied states that arise in relation to architecture, landscape, and social terrain, cultivating methods for navigating space as both choreographic score and lived geography.
What to expect:
Sessions will weave together somatic exploration, improvisational structures, and site-oriented exercises to heighten awareness of memory, orientation, and the subtle negotiations between inside and outside. Drawing on psychogeographic strategies, we will explore how wandering, mapping, and dérive can be utilized as embodied research tools.
The workshop invites movers of all backgrounds to situate their own corporeal histories within shifting spatial and cultural contexts, generating practices that blur boundaries between dance, environment, and daily life.
