[FREE entrance after registration]
We invite you to a unique exploration of presence — a practice that expands awareness and deepens connection with ourselves and with others. Drawing from contemporary dance, somatic practices, and meditative traditions, this workshop invites participants to slow down, listen, and cultivate a heightened sensitivity to body, emotions, and surroundings.
Led by dancer, actor, and performer Piotr Mateusz Wach, this performative workshop is part of the 7th edition of the We Do Festival of Contemporary Polish Arts & Culture: Turning Point. [FULL FESTIVAL PROGRAMME: www.wedo.no]

🔵 Workshop Highlights
➔ Original methods rooted in Deep Listening (Pauline Oliveros), Conscious Release (Agostina D’Alessandro), tantric and meditative traditions, tarot, lucid dreaming, and the dreaming body (Arnold Mindell).
➔ Somatic work, mindfulness training, and movement exploration that cultivate attentiveness and responsiveness to both inner and outer experiences.
➔ A practice that integrates body, empathy, and care — fostering transformation in art, relationships, and daily life.
🔵 Participants will explore questions such as:
How do we listen with our whole body?
What does it mean to be fully present in a shared space?
How can awareness become a tool for transformation in art and everyday life?
The workshop is an invitation to immerse yourself in presence — expanding perception, opening compassion, and discovering new possibilities for connection.
