How can the body become an agent of spatial inscriptions? How can the body be an archive of spatial practice? How does the body perceive space? Why is space political?

We will experiment with different performative and choreographic strategies in order to read the urban space as a text for physical involvements.

Using material of the working process IDEAL PARADISE, which has been taking place in various urban spaces in Vienna, as well as in art and theatre spaces, the choreographer and artist Claudia Bosse will develop performative explorations and choreographic applications for public spaces in Bucharest with the workshop participants.

The workshop explores the relation between body and space through choreography and performance, which will take place in different urban areas in Bucharest.

Schedule: 9-11 of October 2016, from 3 to 6 PM.

Requirements:

Comfortable clothes, good shoes, not afraid to lay down on the floor

Passport or ID card

Smartphone, if available with video function.

Voice recorder

Propositions for spot for urban experimentations

Be there the whole time!
