Unfolding Poetry

1 DAY WORKSHOP

Dance Improvisation and Creative Writing.

25 of FEBRUARY 2018 - from 16:00 to 20:00h.

URBANRAUM - (Urbanstrasse 93)

In this workshop, we will explore the richness that inhabits our wild minds and the deep ocean of expression of our bodies in motion. Working with tasks of improvisation, we will enter the creative source of the poetic body- an available, connected, imaginative state that unfolds the poetics that lie in our bodies waiting to be awakened. 

Using speech, sound and language we will work with presence, inner visions, imagination, composition, and clarity. DANCING and moving through different improvisation tasks, we will allow our bodies to speak - also literally - while we shift in an endless current of movement and words, letting the words interact with the movement and vice versa. We will discover how the body can awaken the deep wilderness of your mind and how the words resonate once they have been said, while in motion or silence.

We will also grab our notebooks and WRITE using different creative writing techniques, entering, with joy, the fascinating and suggestive field of poetry. 

This powerful combination of dance improvisation and writing brings us into new inner worlds and awakens dormant potentials and characters in us. We will slowly let them manifest.

We will compose poems in movement and short pieces. Writing through different tasks, creating short texts. We will work alone, in couples and also as a group.

No poetry or literature background needed. But it is ABSOLUTELY WELCOME. Movement experience of any kind is recommended.

The Workshop is OPEN TO EVERYONE with a sincere interest in the matter. Please feel very welcome to join if you desire so. And of course specifically directed to poets, writers, dancers, performers, actors/actresses, theater artists, singers, musicians, multidisciplinary artist... who want to expand their practice and try out new approaches and practices.
