WORKSHOPS (1,5 – 2 Stunden)
Contemporary Choreography-Workshops // 15. Mai 2022
11:00 – 12:30 Uhr I 13:00 – 14:30 Uhr
Nimrod’s Workshop I 11:00 – 12:30
Following an improvisation, sensory-based warm-up, we will dive into some choreographic material from my latest solo piece – „Aftermath“. By trying to deconstruct and break down the solo into its different components, I hope you’d all find individual, personal ways to connect to the physicality and the notions that helped shaping this piece.
Xianghui’s Workshop I 13:00 – 14:30
The class builds on technical skills. Emphasis is placed on centering, core support, breath support, dynamic and rhythm as well as full articulation of the body.
LABS (8 Stunden)
„The Permeable Touch“- Instant Composition Lab // 20. – 21. Jänner 2023
I touch while feeling touched.
I recognise myself
while sensing the other and the exchange between us.
Touch is an intimate expression,
a manifestation of curiosity.
It is the desire to sense that creates
and acknowledge a connection,
a synchronisation and a change.
- What is your tone, your fundamental vibration?
- How does your tone influence the environment, and how this influences you?
- How can you create the elements of trust on a preverbal level?
- How does this awareness in-form you, suggesting ways to move, connect, and place yourself in time and space?
I am interested in exploring the qualities that each specific touch carries within to initiate and
develop dialogues, dances, and healing pathways.
This Lab explores the relationship between the tactile sense and the nervous system, the
immediate sense that allows us to acknowledge ourselves and the world around us, and the
connection between the two.
A sensorial kinesthetic journey, exploring the continuous dialogue between our inner and outer
landscape. Assuming that the body is porous, transforming with its environment, the students will
be refining their awareness, listening through their ears and entire skin, while the body will begin
to talk about „this very moment“ – as Barbara Dilley reminds us.
Space, time and structures play with us all the time, and even simple gestures or expressions
manifest these relationships.
Focusing on the „in-tensions“, we become aware of the active operating system, which changes
each time with our context, shaping and supporting the tone of our muscles, of our skin, the
position of our bones, the function of our organs, the experience of moving, touching and being
touched.
We will explore our attractions, repulsions, ranges and qualities through movement and sound.
Developing scores and games inspired by my Contact Improvisation, Body Mind Centering, Butoh,
and Voicework experience, we will investigate the double-way action of touch, experiencing the
rhythms, shapes and qualities of our responses and actions.
This workshop was developed in a series of encounters to continue and deepen my research and
repeat the homonymous participatory performance – Permeable Touch – at Lendwirbel in May
2023.

„The Ordinary and the Unspectacular – A Psychophysical Training“-Lab // 14. – 15. Jänner 2023
In the training of dancers and actors, we are often prompted to move/act. But what is the psychophysical basis of, or connection to, that movement? What does it mean to Listen, instead of Moving? How is Listening a Movement or an Action? How does a simple shift in this Listening changes what the audience can see?
This workshop seeks to serve both Dancers and Actors by introducing a psychophysical approach to movement as well as performance. It is based on Phillip Zarrilli’s Psychophysical Approach to Actor Training for actors and also includes exercises inspired by Butoh.
This training is considered as a “pre-performative” training because it does not begin with the technical/creative skills of acting or performing. Instead, it seeks to develop the ability of self-awareness and the deployment of energy, which can be expressed in all physical or dance forms. It prepares participants to be more effective and efficient to engage in the technical/creative level of acting or performing. An analogy for this process is that of a violinist tuning his/her instrument before practicing or performing a piece of music. As the body-mind (or psychophysicality of the body) is a performer’s instrument, it is also important to “tune” the body-mind before stepping into any secondary training, rehearsals and performance.
For dancers and actors, working with particular dance aesthetics or form of acting, this workshop can offer insights into the potential expressivity embedded within the learnt form of performance. It is also a conducive working process for those who are interested in developing their movement/physical/dance works.

„From Desire To Action“ Choreographie-Lab // 4. – 5. März 2022
In diesem Lab für Menschen, die Tanz- oder andere Arten von Performances machen wollen, wird Marta Strategien vermitteln, wie man vom ersten kreativen Wunsch zu konkreten Bewegungen und Aktionen gelangt. Zuerst werden die Teilnehmer*innen mit einfachen Experimentiermöglichkeiten vertraut gemacht, die sie zu Hause oder in einem Tanzstudio ausloten können. Die Ergebnisse der Experimente werden dann in der Gruppe geteilt, um eine gemeinsame Basis für weitere Überlegungen zu haben. Meistens sind die ersten Ideen die besten, der knifflige Teil ist, was man mit ihnen machen soll?
In this Lab for those who want to create dance or other types of performances, Marta will share some strategies about how to go from the first creative desire to concrete movements and actions. First, the participants will get familiar with some tools for experimentation which they can explore at home or in a dance studio. The outcomes of their experiments will be shared to have a common ground for further reflection. Most of the times, first ideas are the best, the tricky part is what to do with them?
