Workshop Playfulness on Friday 20th of october (10h – 17h)
Anything is possible if it happens within a game. In a friendly and secure atmosphere the participants will look for ways to unleash themselves into a world of endless opportunities within the act of play. They will find the pleasure in taking risks, finding ways of raising the stakes in a playful way. The workshop is designed to be suitable for beginners and will also allow experienced players to learn a lot about themselves.
Workshop The Trip on Saturday 21th of october (10h – 17h)
The theatrical experience is a type of trance – a temporary escape to a parallel reality – built and shared between performers and their audience. This shift in consciousness maken it hard to recall what happened on stage, like it was all a dream. We’ve forgotten about our normaal selves, and it’s difficult to ‘come back to reality’, as if you were being possessed (sometimes also for the audience).
In this workshop you explore rituals and summon this hypnotic state, with a focus on discovering states of consciousness through intuition rather than deciding actions through rational thought. A space for spontaneous and organic collaboration, awakening the senses to enjoy and explore real or imagined situations and realities. Together we will create new ways of connecting with each other, and working as a group we will transform the space and also ourselves.
Workshop Fear as a Friend 22nd of october (10h – 17h)
Surveys about fears commonly show stage fright at the top of the list, in some cases even more than the fear of death. This emotion, usually seen as negative and unpleasant is there for a reason. How can we get to know it? Can we embrace it? Can we be friends with it? and most importantly, can we learn how to use it?
