NOTE! THE WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED. In this workshop by Georgie Goater and Maikki Palm, you will be guided to warm up the body's inner spaces into warming up the shared space.
This workshop is about tuning in to the shifts in movement and perception that inform your dancing experience. From warming up the inner and outer spaces, we will play with the relations between your own body, each other and your surroundings - naturally emerging and sometimes evoked - through tasks, the imagination and prompts. Georgie and Maikki are interested in the intuitive body, boundaries, and the movement between.
All experience levels are welcome to this workshop. Teaching language is in English with Finnish translation if needed.
