Contemporary Dance: Movement in the image

Workshop with Erika Winkler

In this workshop we will research connections between visual art and how it encourages us to get moving. This can take many different forms, both directly through forms and indirectly through emotional involvement.
Everyone can bring “their” picture, photo or a memory of a performance, etc.
We can exchange ideas about what “moves” us about it.
You are also welcome to bring materials (paper, pens, brushes, etc.) with you to create your own template. The format is open in implementation. Anyone who is enthusiastic about the topic should take part; no special previous knowledge is necessary. We will learn from each other and certainly develop many new ideas.
