Rock · Paper · Scissors Creative ToolsWorkshop with Luca Cacitti & Shay Partush
Date: 23 and 24 May 2026, 10am – 3pm
In this workshop, participants will explore physical approaches that inspire the creation process with AFI, investigating where movement and intention begin, how an idea travels through space, and how it echoes in other bodies.
Working individually, in pairs, or in small groups, participants will engage in playful tasks that sharpen physical awareness and responsiveness, while also keeping the senses open to maintain a constant state of observation, adaptation, and collaboration.
The workshop cultivates creative tools for different points of departure in a compositional process.
