Bodies Are Never Stationary

Date: 25 to 27 April

Time: 11am to 1pm

Venue: KCC Amphitheatre

Movement. It seems like the simplest thing in the world. But it is complicated how our

body moves and responds. It is quick and at times slow, it is straight and at times

crooked. Time, effort, and flow are all movements. What is Static - is dead. Come

explore your body with us in this workshop.

What Will You Cover?

The session starts with a basic warm-up and stretches and continues into

combinations and phrases of movements. Using the space with a playful mind-body

sync, the participants would be able to ask questions to themselves about the feeling

that the movements bring into them. By the end of the workshop, you can expect to

have learned the basics of anatomy and somatics.

Recommended for

Students of contemporary and any dance style.
