INVITATION Hope in Motion
A Workshop on Making and Moving Flags
Join choreographers and pedagogues Marie-Andrée Robitaille and Irene Gregoriou for an interactive workshop where we’ll explore movement, collaboration, and climate actions through Making and Moving Flags Together.
This workshop is part of the residency Semaphore Dialogues: Signals of Change, where we draw parallels between the semaphore system in the Baltic Sea and our collective ability to communicate and move together. The semaphore serves as a metaphorical entry point for reflecting on signs, signals, and our capacity to engage in climatic transitions.
When: October 21st and October 28th 2024
Time: 16.00 to 18.00
Where: Frihamnstorget, Södra Hamnvägen 5, 11451 Stockholm
Cost: Free (Limited spots, registration required)
Registration link: https://forms.gle/UPXqBHnN7NYP67Qu8

Workshop Highlights
- Introduction to semaphore signals and their relevance to climate change
- Hands-on flag-making and choreographic exercises with semaphore flags

No prior experience is needed—everyone is welcome!
About the Residency:
In Semaphore Dialogues: Signals of Change Marie-Andree Robitaille examines the historical semaphore networks in the Baltic Archipelago, using them as entry points to reflect on communication in the context of the planetary challenges we are facing. The project aims to transform the narrative around climate changes, foster meaningful responses, develop abilities for moving together within a climatic transition while contributing to the emergence of an ethics of movement.
Supported by:
Intercult, Blivande, Frihamnstorget, and CirkusPerspektiv Sweden, Creative Europe and Turning the Tide (TTT)
The project is part of Turning the Tide (TTT), a European cooperation project, co-funded by Creative Europe, dedicated to exploring and addressing the pressing issue of climate change through the lens of artistic and cultural practices.
In partnerships with:
Intercult (Sweden), Artit (Greece), Vienna Education Academy (Austria), DEAR HUNTER (Netherlands) and the Urban Culture Institute (Poland), in collaboration with Fablevision (Scotland) and the River//Cities Network.
