RAINER BEHR - Finding the Essence WorkshopFROM TANZTHEATER PINA BAUSCH
???????? ???????????
We will investigate the question of what makes us to dancing human beings.
When does dance happen and when not. What do we have to put away so dance arises.
We will perceive the inner space and see what happens outside.
Repertory work will be incorporated (Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch)
By asking questions and assigning tasks, we will be opening the space for the creative part.
A training session in the beginning will prepare us for the work.
