What is the general level of the dance / movement / performance workshops?
No prior technical training is necessary. However, the sessions can be physically demanding at times. If you are currently recovering from an injury or illness, or if you need a gentler pace, these particular workshops might not be the most supportive spaces right now. Please consider joining one of our less physically intensive offerings, we’d love to welcome you there.

schedule & detail
Join us for free, multi-disciplinary workshop(s) unfolding in two parts:
1. Body as archive: sensing, moving, transforming
This part invites participants to explore how the body stores, processes, and expresses memory through dance, movement, somatic practice, and voice.
Connect with the pelvic center as a source of emotional intelligence and creation. Through somatic movement and guided improvisation, participants explore their inner mycelial network, finding unique expressions within a collective choreography.
WHEN? MONDAY, MAY 19, 19.00–20.00
Voice becomes a tool for inner exploration and collective play. Participants use sound to unlock creative blocks, explore emotional landscapes, and find joy in spontaneous music-making, regardless of experience.
WHEN? FRIDAY, MAY 23, 17.30–18.30
A deep dive into the performative state of “thinking in movement.” Using physical improvisation, participants explore dynamic balances: tension/release, grounding/scattering — allowing presence to guide their practice.
WHEN? FRIDAY, MAY 23, 19.00–20.00
A journey into formlessness through voice and gesture. The workshop offers a dual approach — first through sound as an embodied release, then through drawing as a visual translation of transformation.
WHEN? SATURDAY, MAY 24, 14.30–15.30
How do we choreograph tenderness? In this intimate and reflective space, participants explore the dramaturgy of love — not through text alone, but with eyes, gestures, and affect. Love as score. Love as movement.
WHEN? SATURDAY, MAY 24, 16.00–17.00
- Nastasja OTTE (Belgium): “In open conversation with the pelvis”
Connect with the pelvic center as a source of emotional intelligence and creation. Through somatic movement and guided improvisation, participants explore their inner mycelial network, finding unique expressions within a collective choreography.
WHEN? MONDAY, MAY 19, 19.00–20.00
- REMES Zsófia (Hungary): “Journey”
Voice becomes a tool for inner exploration and collective play. Participants use sound to unlock creative blocks, explore emotional landscapes, and find joy in spontaneous music-making, regardless of experience.
WHEN? FRIDAY, MAY 23, 17.30–18.30
- Krzysztof PIECHNICZEK (Poland): “Thinking state practices”
A deep dive into the performative state of “thinking in movement.” Using physical improvisation, participants explore dynamic balances: tension/release, grounding/scattering — allowing presence to guide their practice.
WHEN? FRIDAY, MAY 23, 19.00–20.00
- KOVAI Fruzsi (Hungary): “The physiology of transformation”
A journey into formlessness through voice and gesture. The workshop offers a dual approach — first through sound as an embodied release, then through drawing as a visual translation of transformation.
WHEN? SATURDAY, MAY 24, 14.30–15.30
- Marcin MIĘTUS (Poland): “Love Letter Practice”
How do we choreograph tenderness? In this intimate and reflective space, participants explore the dramaturgy of love — not through text alone, but with eyes, gestures, and affect. Love as score. Love as movement.
WHEN? SATURDAY, MAY 24, 16.00–17.00
2. The poetics of making: from personal archive to collective imagination
This part focuses on creative processes that turn everyday tools and materials (phones, paper, magazines…) into poetic, expressive, and critical forms. These workshops invite participants to narrate, reframe, and collage reality, using image, text, and film to tell new stories from personal and collective perspectives.
Discover the cinematic power of your smartphone. Learn to shoot poetic video diaries that carry emotional resonance. A hands-on session for those ready to make filmmaking personal and accessible.
WHEN? TUESDAY, MAY 20, 17.30-18.30
An act of resistance and reimagination through the pages of women’s magazines. Participants cut, paste, and rewrite mainstream narratives to uncover new meanings and build a collective feminist archive.
WHEN? TUESDAY, MAY 20, 19.00–20.00
- Selasie DJAMEH (Ghana): “The phone & the feeling”
Discover the cinematic power of your smartphone. Learn to shoot poetic video diaries that carry emotional resonance. A hands-on session for those ready to make filmmaking personal and accessible.
WHEN? TUESDAY, MAY 20, 17.30-18.30
