Experience your body as a living community of human and non-human forces. The day after their performance, BLOT (Body Line of Thought), Simona and Vanessa will guide you through a workshop in which you will explore your own organism, full of networks that you do not normally perceive, through breath and movement.

Simona Deaconescu and Vanessa Goodman’s workshop explores the shifting boundaries between the real and the imaginary body. They practice guided self-control practices, from folding, softening, and shifting bones to stretching and compressing muscles. Both choreographers create space for new vocabulary and embodied possibilities in their workshop, inviting participants to explore hybrid forms of movement in which the body can fall apart, fold and transform again.

Drawing inspiration from natural and technological systems, they explore how the body can change and adapt to different environments, from the graceful movement of an octopus to the invisible networks of bacteria that live inside us. Try out tasks focused on breath, volumetric movement and speed. Fold and stretch your bodies beyond the boundaries of known formulas. The workshop aims to develop a performative body attuned to atmospheric states and capable of generating layered compositions where meaning comes from both what is visible and what is imagined.

Running time: 120 minutes

The practice sharing will take place in English.
