Forum Dança, Espaço da Penha, Lisboa

This workshop will be conducted in English.

Prioritizing improvisation and collaboration, we will play with the possibilities of healing, politics, and dancing together.

I welcome your curiosity and concerns.

What inspires you or prevents you from dancing more freely, especially with others?
What activates or impedes your healing potential?
How is your body responding to new wars, precarity, and embodied traumas?
How can dancing be activated as anti-capitalism, as a new ethics of relationship, pleasure, and shared power?

I will invite the prophetic ancestors Gustav Landauer and Octavia Butler into the studio to renew our dancing.

Depending on interest, we will integrate performance practices throughout the week.
