Astrid Sweeney will guide you through a warm up, working with succession within the body through spirals, shaking, assymetry and shifting relations to gravity.
The session will then transition into movement explorations inspired by Astrid’s latest collaborative work, Ontogenesis Dreams. Drawing from science fiction literature, the molting processes of insects, and queer ecologies, participants will engage in creating non-human locomotions and reimagine the sensory hierarchy of the body. Through imaginative prompts, such as envisioning the head as a tail or the feet as eyes, we will experiment with hybrid forms and explore knotting techniques to construct hybrid, interconnected “bodies.”
The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27 DK-1799 Copenhagen V in Studio 3.
