Ambiguous Intensities <\/em><\/h4>\n

A workshop with Harald Beharie<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the last years Harald Beharie has been engaged in exploring the body as a site of ambivalence. A site where opposing forces, desires, and mechanics coexist and collide. The workshop draws on materials and methodologies developed across a trilogy of works (Batty Bwoy, Undersang and Sweet Spot, 2022 – 2026) , where the body is approached as something unstable, excessive, and exposed in its constant negotiation with its surroundings. Fragments, practices, and scores from these works will function as starting points and shared references. Not as fixed choreographies, but as material to be reactivated, distorted, and reimagined within the group. Together, we will form a temporary collective. A space for delving into ways of being, for channeling and manifesting attitudes and energetic states. Beginning with specific somatic and vocal practices, we will move into more open sessions, working with both voice and movement. The workshop explores how ambiguity can be sustained as a generative force, allowing a collective body to emerge, dissolve, and reconfigure. We will explore how playfulness and uncanniness can produce layers of magic, confusion, and slippage. How to remain in confusion, together and also leaning into awkwardness and silliness as a productive state. How ambiguity can be embodied through form, sensation, and duration. How something lingers and leaks.
\nThe workshop includes elements of contact work and is open to professional performers and students within the performing arts.<\/p>\n

      \nBeharie\u2019s practice and choreographies often emerge in the tension between the everyday and the extreme, the banal and the sacred, playing with transformation as a continuous principle, for both the body and the spaces they move through. At the core lies a desire to challenge how we sense, understand, and organize reality. Their works explore how queerness and the body can act as a medium and a site for revolt, ecstasy, and dissolution They hold a special interest for the DIY and the vulnerability of being in the unknown.
      \nBeharie is interested in how the body can function as a motor for dramaturgy, a force in itself that transforms through practice. In his works Batty Bwoy and Undersang, pleasure, excess, and monstrosity can become forces for empowerment and transformation while using the body as a site of ambivalence.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
