Through sensing, breath, and touch, we approach the body as a living structure that continuously reorganises itself.
This workshop explores how somatic, dance, and performative practices can engage with the idea of small repairs.
Fractures and breaks transform into scar tissue, opening space for new growth. These micro-repairs become material for movement scores, improvisations, and choreographic tasks.
Participants will explore how inner shifts translate into moved form, where repair is less about returning to an origin than about creating new possibilities for movement, relation, and composition.
Together, we will practice making subtle acts of care tangible — in the body, in space, and in collective choreographic constellations, extending from the individual to the collective body, to non-human matter, and into the city.
Who can join
  • Everyone who is interest in a body-based artistic practice.
  • Everyone with the migrant or relocated background (as well as without it).
  • Everyone with the relation to the topic of small repairs.
Format of each session
We divide 4 hours into:

  • Starting with somatic entrance into a specific idea of scar tissues
  • Providing an input on scar tissues (from the areas of neurosciences, sociology, psychology, anthropology, artistic practice – by researchers/artists from these fields).
  • Starting movement research from this inspiration.
  • Moving from individual work into a collective score.
