Improvising with a compositional mind
with Benno Voorham and Sybrig Dokter

Benno and musician Christer Bothen

When dancing and interacting with other dancers and an audience, there is a constant demand to be wide-awake and have your senses sharpened. Our memory of what just happened can guide us as to what direction to take in what is coming. We will be working at that intersection of conscious choice and the in the moment following of our instinct. In this workshop we will explore and examine our habits in perceiving and responding to acts of other people as well as having a look at the way we go from thinking to doing. The workshop will be based on physical practice and skills in moving with ease and clarity. Getting to know the body’s possibilities through moving, and to navigate it through space and time. Working in different constellations and moving in scores that sharpen our compositional wit and challenge our ability to act and (not)react.
