Qualia - Suppose I told you that the color of the dawn sky I saw this morning was very red and beautiful. Then you would imagine that beautiful red dawn sky. There is no way to know whether the red of the sky you imagine is similar to or completely different from mine. This is what scientists call qualia. The uniqueness described through qualia makes our works and expressions special and gives a lot of power to our body language. In this workshop I would like to open experimentation on consciously perceiving our environment and using this material for dance and creation. By understanding the features of perception, the skeleton is able to grasp, and it becomes possible to imagine the formation of invisible parts of reality such as the law of growth, the energy of life and the power of our soul...
Accessibility Note
The workshop will be held in English spoken language. The workshop consists largely of improvisation and the physical intensity of the exercises and dances can be adjusted individually. The exercises require self-responsibility in being mindful of one's own limits as well as a high degree of self-awareness and awareness of others. Imagination plays an important role. Part of the work are abstract and poetic imaginations, which are translated into movements.
