Bodies in Rebellion - movement workshop Zufit Simon

In this workshop we will explore the body as a place of resistance, memory and change. Based on the piece "Bodies in Rebellion", we will focus our attention on moments of being stuck physically, emotionally and socially and transform them into expression and action through movement.

Through guided improvisations, somatic exercises and collective movement practices, we explore tensions, blockages and repetitions in the body. What does it mean to be stuck? Which forces hold us back and which ones arise precisely from this?

The workshop invites us to develop individual and collective forms of rebellion: quiet, powerful, fragmented or flowing. The focus is not on perfection, but on experiencing, perceiving and sharing movement as a language.

Open to all bodies and levels of experience, this space creates the opportunity to encounter oneself and others anew in resistance, vulnerability and collective movement.
