"Stillness in Motion" explores the potent use of stillness—not only as the foundation for
movement but also as a technique to enhance stage presence. We’ll engage in movement both
within and outside of our respective disciplines, allowing you to uncover and later incorporate
fundamental principles into your own artistic practice. In many art forms, stillness plays a crucial
role—music is enhanced by pauses, words require spaces to be comprehensible, and
movement works similarly. Forgetting to stop takes away from our ability to focus on the motion.
Ideal For:
This workshop is designed for dancers and circus performers, including acrobats, aerialists, and
jugglers who wish to explore new dimensions of expressiveness through the
disciplined use of stillness and presence. Suitable also for choreographers and directors
seeking to deepen their toolbox and explore concepts of stillness.
