IMPROBABLE LIFTS
is a workshop on improvised partnering that explores non-verbal negotiation in a space of play. We will dive into the principles of experimental partnering, to then practice skills and explore tools for improvised partnering. Working with the aesthetics of failure, our physical style is based on generous struggle and spontaneous desires. We don’t aim to cooperate in a traditional sense, yet there are still moments, in which our bodies become one absurd, joyful mess and success is being redefined.
Schedule: Saturday, 30.8., 11-16
Sunday, 31.8., 11-16

Free of Charge
Open Level
Registration via link in bio - coming soon
Adress: Studio 0/1, Gottlieb-Dunkel Str. 30-32
Please bring some food to share for the Community Lunch.

‘Improbable lifts’ is a workshop that employs modes of non-verbal communication within a space of play. Our aim is to generate situations in which participants can surprise themselves. They find themselves in complex physical situations and develop ways and strategies to navigate them.

Improbable lifts is a partnering practice that involves two or more bodies becoming one absurd unity. We explore how physical tension builds the relationship and space between us. How do we navigate the balance between ourselves and others?

In ‚improbable lifts‘, the partners are not cooperative in a traditional sense and their intentions don’t necessarily overlap, yet there is still an outcome: Small moments in which success is redefined.
