We_You_I (Waiting list)
Workshop
with
Ka Rustler
In the frame of Oster Tanz 2022
Even the smallest unit of life, the cell, breathes. Life on this planet vibrates and pulsates around a basic unit of cells. Like in society, multicellular organizations in our bodies merge individual autonomy with social interaction. All cells communicate along their membranes taking on numerous forms, transitioning from crystalline solid to gluey and smooth between receptivity and expression, listening and speaking.
In this workshop I want to share my research on the dynamics and cycles of cellular creativity, expression and diversity. We will draw attention to the abundant different qualities and textures of cellular tissue through (self)touch and movement and how we can use and recalibrate the cellular matrix and its multifaceted connections through our body and mindset. The potential of our range of resonance we discover with lightness and curiosity in improvisational scores and guided movement rituals and explorations.
