What is choreography? Body in time and space. But what if the body would be limited in space and time? What if the stage is just a table or a window?
How do we deal with limitations on hand choreographic compositional tools?
This research laboratory is based on various choreographic methods, i.e. real-time composition, scores, and improvisation, — and is researching composition, performance, actionism, and art — on the micro-scale. We are going to practice things and create body-in-time-based micro-art.
Micro-changes have been known throughout history as the most sustainable changes. In this circle, we are playing with choreographic tools, learning to see, recognize, and - maybe - influence the scores and patterns at the macro level.

FAQ
Read theoretic texts, look at choreographies, and practice choreographic methods in limited spaces of the Emergency Club. Each meeting has all these components.
This is an open-level community meeting. It means every experience is valid. Choreography is an open database that feeds on different sources and is used in different instances.
You can. There is a development of thought throughout the meetings, but dropping in is possible.
Since this is a research format, we will be open to any clothes you feel comfortable with. Warm-ups and research will be adapted on the go. Comfort is the key.
