Contact Zone - Inclusive Dance Workshop
26-29 September
We invite professional and amateur actors, dancers, and anyone interested in performing arts, to take part in our inclusive performance workshop, “Contact Zone.”
During the workshop, we aim to create a shared space, a zone of contact, where, through movement, storytelling, and other artistic mediums, we will explore different layers of connection: with ourselves, with one another, and with the environment. As a result of this exploration, we will discover possibilities for creating performance through collective effort.
Participants from diverse backgrounds and experiences will meet, share their stories, collaborate, and explore how these stories can be told using various performance techniques. At the end of the workshop, participants will create a spontaneous, collective performance.
