As we can observe, movement is contagious. Humans are primed to notice it and recreate it. As soon as a person makes a movement, that movement exists as one possibility not only for the person who made it, but for others as well, who have seen it and felt its effects.

How can movement become the symbol of a story? How can my mind embrace its meaning? How can something so mechanical as a choreographic routine transcend it´s technicality to tell a story? How can we bring intuition and technicality together? How can the independent artist create something meaningful in different senses without always having access to the support of an entire team of experts?

In this workshop, Anajara (Naná) will explore with you tools for choreography and intuition. Based on our individual physicalities, let's create and act together!

Accessibility Note

This workshop is open to people with different physicalities and sensory modalities who already have a more advanced background in dance and movement. There will first be a more technical part focusing on the transmission of impulses around choreography and intuition, before opening a space for own creative and choreographic explorations. The workshop will be held in English with simultaneous translation into German sign language, questions and clarifications can also be made in German and/or Portuguese. Writing exercises and note-taking will be part of the workshop. Sound and music will be part of the workshop as an individual relationship element, also own music can be brought, but there is always the possibility to not refer to the music.

The workshop will take place in the Uferstudios in Berlin Wedding, in Studio 5. It is accessible without steps, but has a raised wooden floor area, which is accessible via a 1.5% sloping feeder ramp. A barrier-free WC with shower (2.6 m x 2.1 m) is located in the foyer of studios 3, 4 and 5 and can be accessed without steps. The door width of the respective sanitary facilities is 0.95 m.
