DANCE OF LIKENESS IS A MOVEMENT-BASED CREATIVE WORKSHOP THAT EXPLORES OUR ANCESTRAL STORIES THROUGH MOVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE PRACTICE.

WHAT YOU CAN GAIN

  • Practical performative and movement tools for your own practice (actors, dancers, performers)

  • A self-reflective and therapeutic experience that helps you reconnect with yourself and others through movement and performance (tools for drama therapist, psychologist, coaches)

  • An innovative approach to storytelling through movement-based devising  (dramaturgs, directors, writers)

  • Inspiring concepts for creative expression and leadership  (visual artists, musicians, creative leaders)

The workshop is applicable for people from various backgrounds. No matter your background, this workshop offers a space for personal growth and artistic expression, providing a creative and self-reflective environment for those seeking a challenge. Through shared movement training and creative collaborations with other workshop participants, this workshop will emphasise our shared experiences, offering an innovative and creative lens through which we can view our journeys.

LOCATION

The work session will take place in Brzezinka in the historical forest base of The Grotowski Institute, located 46 km from Wroclaw. The Brzezinka forest base began as a renovation project by Jerzy Grotowski and The Laboratory Theatre in 1971. The renovated farm buildings surrounded by 10 hectares of forest, now contain a theatrical space, studio spaces, and full living accommodations.
