About
On the workshop thought on Praktikum (Adrienn Hód will be working on a new project with the dancers of EnKnapGroup in Španski borci at the same time), she will create intimate situations in which dancers will be offered space and trust to open their physicality. Her focus is on the body itself, taken from its cultural context that she usually puts in an empty space. Her method is based on improvisation that appears in a structured frame on stage. She is not afraid working on the unknown and taboo. Work on the workshop will be based on the Hodworks repertory improvisation tasks Basse danse (2011), The way my father imagined it all (2012), Dawn (2013), Conditions of Being a Mortal (2014) and Grace (2015). You can find more info on www.hodworks.hu).
Participants are kindly invited to bring with them their phone (to be able to connecct to internet, go on youtube) and earplugs. And a small bag.
