This playshop is developing different imagination games that help to find specific and new qualities of movement. The games will help us awaken our awareness of the space, both the one within and the one outside our body. Therefore, we start moving from the inside of our body, by wanting to reach the outside space. We play with the idea of different patterns such as moving in circles, lines, dots and bounces. During this time we stay aware of each other and don’t forget to have fun.
What do I need to prepare? Each participant will need 8 strips of tape (e.g. masking tape, washi tape, or other craft tape) about the size of a fingertip, for an exercise during the Playshop. The Playshop leader will then explain how to apply the strips to the floor. If necessary, the recording, can be paused for organization.
Note: brown, or colored parcel tape tends to leave ugly stains on floors.
This playshop is meant for people of all ages above 8 years old and no previous dance experience is necessary.
Number of participants: minimum 2 – maximum 30
Necessary physical resources: dance hall / studio / room with a dance(able) floor, large enough to accommodate the number of registered participants and where is not too cold, loudspeaker connected to laptop.
