Class description:

Working in Uncertainty 

~ Practising performance ~

This workshop plays with agency, togetherness and uncertainty through an improvisational group structure. Uncertainty is a rich, creative state without ego. Together we will play with ways to cultivate it intentionally. The structure of this practice encourages a deliberate degree of miscommunication. We aim to harness this chaos to let unexpected things appear and seek a generative state together that hinges on play and presence. 


We will practise kind disobedience. We will touch base with the fullness of ourselves, shake things loose, take turns witnessing, and attune to our impulses, to each other and to those watching. Most importantly we will practise unconditional support for ourselves and each other. 


How do we remain in a state of unknowing together?
