The idea of building alternative spaces feels particularly compelling and transformative in a moment when many of our notions of community, distance and proximity, ways of being and moving have shifted so much. This process led to conversation, mark making and movement as a means of articulating the qualities of a collective imagined space. Collaborating with members of the Next Choreography cohort, we drew upon text, sound and other prompts from which our choreography arose. This film aims to illustrate some of our process, the sites built from the collaborative workshop,
a portal to the space and time we shared.
This film concludes a thoughtful process stemming from the desire to investigate ways of working together to build a space to move and connect within.
Join us on Saturday 24th of October to take part in a movement lab centred around joy, care and resilience. Sign up here...
Ingredients for a portal is a movement lab dedicated to transforming perceptions and uses of space, finding ways to move with joy, care and resilience. We aim to playfully locate and articulate the sites of resistance and play that we envision. Drawing from materials personal to each participant the workshop will be based around connecting with movement and imagination, using writing as a tool throughout this process.
