Gazing Berlin
a workshop of improvised movement and non-performance-performance in public

——————
This event is happening in Berlin!
——————

The more you look, the more there is to see.

Looking directly into the sun I burn my retina.
Flooded with white light it continues to burn
and burn bright and from this
a kaleidoscope of colour
fills my closed-eye sight.

How is it to be so wooden and so stiff and so straight?

All you need is curiosity.
How can I allow the outer world to pass through me?
From the visual to the somatosensory system.

——————
What you can expect is an imaginary journey, movement explorations, gazing research.
Bits of scientific knowledge to feed the curious minds and bodily explorations of different sorts.

We will co-create a space where all minds and bodies are welcome to explore, share, misunderstand, follow curiosities and have fun, or not.

Open to all, no matter the previous experiences or physical preparation.

——————
General schedule

Saturday 1 - 5pm a movement workshop in a studio space
Sunday 1 - 5pm a museum visit, researching practices in a public space

——————
Accessibility

Unfortunately, the studio space has stairs and no elevator.
