Kurs with Selina Shida Hack

MOVEMENT RECORD is a movement research process of layering, combining, and deconstructing, we endeavor to peel back the layers of conventional expression, striving for a raw and genuine articulation of the self. In an era where authenticity is paramount, MOVEMENT RECORD poses fundamental questions about the honesty of our practice and performance. 
Embedded within the core of this practise is an exploration of the thresholds of experimentation. When do we relinquish movements that fail to resonate, and when do we persevere, nurturing them until they blossom into something profound? These questions guide our process as we navigate the delicate balance between refinement and innovation.
By modulating elements such as speed, texture, and sensation, we aim to craft a tapestry of stories that transcend linguistic barriers. Each movement becomes a vessel, carrying with it a myriad of emotions, memories, and experiences, waiting to be unraveled through the language of the body.  @movement.record
