Practices of Empathy – Dancing Workshop*

Practices of Empathy researches capacities and limits of radical empathy through choreographic practices deriving from authentic movement. It is an invitation to create understanding and mutual support through art and dance, in response to contemporary political and social challenges. The workshop aims to create tools that allow for dialogue across generational, political, and moral divides by listening to personal stories, creating games and dance scores to build a sense of togetherness beyond differences.

This workshop offers an insight into Alica minar’s ongoing research and a questioning of what choreographing means today. Through the sharing of choreographic tools, the participants will develop scores and explore them in improvisations. Engaging in both individual and group work, we will investigate the complex relationship between narration and movement– bridging the realms of imagination and the tangible reality of the dancing body.

This workshop wishes to create a space for encouraging mindfulness of consent, curiosity, self-responsibility, care, and respect of personal boundaries. It is open to dance choreographers, dramaturgs, dancers, theatre directors, performers, artists or creatives with an interest in the body, movement and dance.
