Emotional Workout

The idea of working with one's own and others' feelings is the starting point of this workshop. Using various dance and technical approaches to workouts and training sessions, we will explore their potential for the intentional control of moods and the experience of community. The Emotional Workout does not reinvent anything, but rather exaggerates the types of work that we as dancers often do invisibly and as if in passing. The training units are based on the research for the stage work ‘Service and Feeling’, which thematises the service character of emotional work in dance. The training consists of guided workouts, improvisational and choreographic elements.
People aged 18 and over are invited to participate. No prior knowledge is required, but experience with emotional work (e.g. in performing, therapeutic or care work contexts) may be an advantage.
