Workshop with Ted Stoffer on contemporary dance
The workshop is open to all levels to those involved in the performing arts.
Inspired by the latest collaboration with theater director Luk Perceval at the Frankfurt Schauspiel, choreographer Ted Stoffer proposes a research into rituals for the most encompassing of emotions - love.
Participants will have a quick introduction to the concept of Ma, the power of perseverance and to five principles of movement. Afterwards they will be asked to work in various couples to develop a language which will then be subjected to various parameters.
The workshop cultivates a non-judgmental, sensory receptive mind frame that is simultaneously subjective and objective.
