About the workshop:
Using principles of visceral listening, trust, risk, holding ground, redirecting force, stopping, blocking, translating and transforming to develop forms of collaborative movement. Forms that inform how we make choices and affect change. Giving, taking and sharing power, freedom and responsibility. Creating structures, scores and physics that allow different points of view to create new possibilities.
