During the workshop, we’ll provoke an activity in collaborative creation and practice of movement. The work will focus on finding and releasing the creative potential of the participants using alternative tools to create movement as well as choreographic and improvisational practices that will increase the ability to build trust, body awareness, help generating and composing movement.

Artists’ choreographic practices are mostly inspired by authentic movement and partner work. During the laboratory we will focus on relation to others and the space.

Please bring comfortable clothes and shoes.

Recommended for: everyone regardless of age, level of experience, condition and disability D_deaf people who want to take part in the workshop, please inform us via e-mail at a.pawlowska@ckzamek.pl until no later than 21.03. – we will provide the presence of a PJM interpreter.

Maria Terese Engdahl-Høgåsen is a Norwegian dancer living with a disability herself. Her work both as a creating artist and as a teacher is centered around working with differently bodied dancers and exploring the opportunities rather than limitations that lie in our differences. Maria is educated from the Norwegian school of sports sciences within the field of sport psychology combined with dance training. She has a background from jazz dance and musical theatre as well as contemporary techniques, but for the past ten years she has been immersing in improvisation, multidisciplinary creations and openly exploring movement from different approaches and perspectives.
