Reflektiotyöpaja tarjoaa jaetun tilan yleisölle ja taiteilijoille palata festivaalin teoksiin ja kokemuksiin. Ilmaisen englanninkielisen työpajan fasilitoi koreografi ja Sivuaskel-festivaalin kanssakuraattori Peter Mills.
The Reflection Workshop is a shared space for audiences and artists to revisit and work with experiences from the festival’s performances. Using simple physical, reflective, and creative exercises, the workshop invites participants to slow down, notice what stayed with them, and explore how performance resonates in the body, imagination, and conversation.
No prior dance experience is required.
