About
This masterclass explores the intersection of movement, language, and composition through a structured improvisational score inspired by Ame and Matija’s shared practice.
Each participant will be invited to work within a live, polyphonic field of offerings and responses exploring how one speaks, reacts and relates to others in a shared performance space. The workshop will support participants to navigate a group improvisational score where speech and silence, gesture and stillness, and presence and absence are equally choreographic. In this system, language is treated as sound, tension, score, and interruption. Movement arises not to illustrate text, but to tune into timing, weight and rhythm. This is not about acting or storytelling. It’s about developing a body that listens through the skin, that thinks through pauses, and that composes with attention rather than intention.
The work cultivates:
- Real-time decision-making
- Group and spatial awareness
- Embodied listening
- Non-linear dramaturgy
- The use of language as a physical material
Participants will shift between speaking, moving, and witnessing — composing with what’s already present, and learning to read the room as a score.
