MORE-THAN-HUMANS LAB
Research in Dance Improvisation and Somatics
" The practice of being the universe is not yet done.”
(Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Self Portrait as a hurricane)
After centuries of living by the philosophy of the human being separate from nature, luckily that idea has been losing color and started cracking tremendously throughout its effects. In the MORE-THAN-HUMAN LABS :: we will explore this question through the interaction of improvisation, dance, somatics, poetry and philosophy. Rather than viewing humanity as a disruptive force, we aim to cultivate a profound love for the earth by opening our perception and enhancing our sense of togetherness. How could we queer our relationship with the world, if we expand our perception and sensitivity to the more-than-human realms?
Improvisation and dance call for a political and irrational attempt to perceive and rediscuss our ecologies and affects. We will try to get in touch with the edges of our humanness and offer a space to open up curiosity to inner questions and creativity.
Our body practice is crossing over:
breathing and warm up exercises/ somatic realignment of the body with postural and grounding exercises (BMC and Continuum inspired)/ explorations in the depth of our inner landscape and its relation to the outer world/ bringing sensations into presence through movement, poetry and imagination/ explorations of a variety of rhythms and temporalities beyond the human mind through attunement and deep listening/ deconstruction of philosophical texts and rediscovering our own sense of understanding
*The workshop is open to all kind of bodies and experiences*
