The workshop “Taming the wild“ with Tereza Lazarev offers the participants a dance research and work through multidimensional methods of dance and choreography.

The goal of this workshop is to connect with our animality through embodiment of images, the use of touch and writing and sharing.

How can we free our animality?

What do we need to invite in order to let our animal speak?

Suggesting different images we will work with imitation of animals where we will allow ourselves to transform and be playful. Working with a partner we will learn how to follow and lead one another. We will try to work consciously with our body, at the same time being aware of the space and the other people in the space. We will work on our own, with a partner and in a group. Let’s come open, let’s come curious, let’s be playful.
