Workshop

Based on the different choreographic principles of the performance “JINX 103” this workshop works around the themes of rhythm and ritual, using body percussion, understanding and sharing positive and negative space between the dancers in space, communication through the body and musicality, and improvisation with understanding the negative space that surrounds us and separates us from others in the same space.
