In the workshop, we will explore what “moves us”. Through invitations and exercises in the space, the participants explore their physical responses as part of developing awareness of their movement behaviour.

Inspired by different movement techniques and approaches such as Gaga, Yoga, Litz Pisk, Martial Arts, Ben Spatz, and Stanislavski, the workshop invites the participants to develop awareness and celebration of their unique way of moving and communicating in space.

It is an individual exploration within a group. Open to all people, backgrounds, abilities, past experiences, and calling for self-celebration of identities and bodies in the room.

Adi Gortler (she/her) is a movement director, teacher, and theatremaker. She graduated with her MFA in Movement Directing and Teaching from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (London), and a B.Ed in Theatre Directing and Teaching from Seminar Ha'Kibbutzim College (Tel Aviv). At the heart of her practice lies a deep celebration of people and their individuality, leading to an environment where uniqueness and identities are cherished and expressed in creating a story.
