Healing Rituals
Workshop
with
Nora Amin
In the frame of OsterTanz 2024
Based on her signature choreographic language, Nora Amin offers a workshop that explores individual and collective dance rituals, those that are self-authored, and those that are based in her heritage. She expands the ritualistic form of dance practise to re-visit notions of togetherness, individual histories, body archive and unlocking emotional wounds or empowering the transformative potential of dance healing. The workshop is open to all ages, genders and backgrounds.
Accessibility Note
The workshop will be held in spoken English, follow-up questions for clarification may also be in Arabic or French. No previous dance experience is required. Not all movements will be verbalized in detail, non-verbal communication will be needed as well. Music plays an important role and is used. If needed, a free workshop place for an accompanying assistant will be provided for participants with disabilities. Information about our location & studio access in Kreuzberg, which unfortunately not wheelchair accessible, can be found here.
