The Indulge the Movement workshop by Heli Keskikallio consists of motion exercises that take the material qualities of the human body as their starting point. We surrender to the weight and the mass of the body, let it flow and shake it up. We explore the connections between ourselves, the space and its material properties. We perform improvisation exercises based on deep sensing and tune into the microscopic flickering between us. We work solo, in pairs and collectively; we move and are moved collectively by our dance, weaving a shared terrain.
