Scores for Pleasure
Workshop
with
Przemek Kamiński
In the frame of Summer/ing at Tanzfabrik
The workshop holds space for the participants to explore pleasure in relation to themselves and others, through a number of different scores. These scores function as vehicles to (re)discover and take great delight in moving and movement, aiming to enhance the feelings of joy, wholeness and aliveness through sensual experience.
The scores facilitated in the workshop are informed by elements of various somatic practices, bodywork and relaxation techniques as well as improvisation tasks. They combine practices of embodying fluids, opening the heart, imagining and affirming, touching and self-treating, writing and resting – all of which can be adapted and taken further by the participants into their daily life and artistic work.

The workshop is facilitated in spoken English. Questions can be also asked in German. The workshop is open to anyone interested, regardless of the experience. If needed, a free workshop place for an accompanying assistant is available for participants with disabilities. Oral explanations and guided visualizations are an essential part of the workshop. A small part of the workshop includes partner work (both: with and without touching). An alternative to partner work is possible. The workshop includes practices of non-stop dancing and non-stop writing (in any language). Loud, electronic, and pop music is used during some parts of the workshop.
