Beyond Visibility
In this workshop, choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis, who will be presenting the performance Notebook at TQW, invites dancer Antoine Weil to explore the concept of not seeing. Wearing the denim hoods in Notebook is not only an aesthetic moment of physical concealment but also a tool to expand our understanding of body, space and movement. Together with the participants, we will explore how we can sense the presence of the other beyond the visible, respond to it and navigate the space together.
Participants are asked to bring a hat or hooded garment.
