Desire never emerges in a vacuum, but rather intersubjectively, in the space between people, filled with history and complexity. In this workshop, we will bring our attention to the difference between having a particular taste, fantasy, or fetish - and projecting that onto another person, or people - and allowing desires and relations to emerge through observing, listening, and receiving. The space between us, so present and compulsory in this age affected by a global pandemic, is reimagined as a space of possibility and magic.

Drawing on David’s background as a dance artist, we will work somatically, with processes such as the digestive system, fundamentally connected to both desires and boundaries, in order to support this emergence of complex intersubjective desire, as well as choreographically, using time & space as concrete tools in our play.

Transparency around relationships of power, identity, attraction, and repulsion that emerge within the structure of a workshop situation will be key. The workshop proposes a holistic approach to dancing with intimacy and care, that both draws from and affects our personal, social, and political realities.

NOTES ON THE EVENT

The aims of our events are to learn together in a group and support collective processes as well as personal development. Couples and any other kinds of partnerships or constellations are welcome, but you should be aware of and open to the fact that the courses are not designed as partnership experiences and that we address each person as an individual. As an example: to include all participants equally, we usually work with random partner combinations in the exercises. Thus same, as well as differing gender combinations are likely to occur. Participants should be generally open to work with anybody and any body. Exceptions can be discussed in individual cases.
Gender identity, sexual orientation, age etc. are no criteria in the registration process and the selection of the participants.
It is required that you act with care, communication, consent and caution, and encouraged that you honour your boundaries and self-responsibilities. Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring candy speech.
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave, should their behavior be harmful and we reserve the right to do that without explanations – though we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees would then be fully refunded, further claims are excluded.
We do our best to meet different needs, though our resources are limited. Contact us if in doubt.
