Program
SCHEDULE & DETAILS
1. Body as archive: sensing, moving, transforming
This track invites participants to explore the body as a site of memory, creativity, knowledge, and transformation. Through dance, voice, somatic practices, and performance, participants will discover how embodied expression can access hidden layers of experience and open new spaces for creation. These workshops emphasize intuitive movement, collective composition, and playful explorations.
Nastasja OTTE (Belgium): “In open conversation with the pelvis”
Dance & movement workshop
Connect with the pelvic center as a source of emotional intelligence and creation. Through somatic movement and guided improvisation, participants explore their inner mycelial network, finding unique expressions within a collective choreography.
WHEN? MONDAY, MAY 19, 19.00–20.00
REMES Zsófia (Hungary): “Journey”
Vocal improvisation workshop
Voice becomes a tool for inner exploration and collective play. Participants use sound to unlock creative blocks, explore emotional landscapes, and find joy in spontaneous music-making, regardless of experience.
WHEN? FRIDAY, MAY 23, 17.30–18.30
Krzysztof PIECHNICZEK (Poland): “Thinking state practices”
Performance & movement workshop
A deep dive into the performative state of “thinking in movement.” Using physical improvisation, participants explore dynamic balances: tension/release, grounding/scattering — allowing presence to guide their practice.
WHEN? FRIDAY, MAY 23, 19.00–20.00
KOVAI Fruzsi (Hungary): “The physiology of transformation”
Somatic drawing workshop
A journey into formlessness through voice and gesture. The workshop offers a dual approach — first through sound as an embodied release, then through drawing as a visual translation of transformation.
WHEN? SATURDAY, MAY 24, 14.30–15.30
Marcin MIĘTUS (Poland): “Love Letter Practice”
Performance & dramaturgy workshop
How do we choreograph tenderness? In this intimate and reflective space, participants explore the dramaturgy of love — not through text alone, but with eyes, gestures, and affect. Love as score. Love as movement.
WHEN? SATURDAY, MAY 24, 16.00–17.00
2. The poetics of making: from personal archive to collective imagination
This track focuses on creative processes that turn everyday tools and materials (phones, paper, magazines…) into poetic, expressive, and critical forms. These workshops invite participants to narrate, reframe, and collage reality, using image, text, and film to tell new stories from personal and collective perspectives.
Selasie DJAMEH (Ghana): “The phone & the feeling”
Filmmaking workshop
Discover the cinematic power of your smartphone. Learn to shoot poetic video diaries that carry emotional resonance. A hands-on session for those ready to make filmmaking personal and accessible.
WHEN? TUESDAY, MAY 20, 17.30-18.30
FÁBIÁN Nóra (Hungary): “Invisible layers”
Collage workshop
An act of resistance and reimagination through the pages of women’s magazines. Participants cut, paste, and rewrite mainstream narratives to uncover new meanings and build a collective feminist archive.
WHEN? TUESDAY, MAY 20, 19.00–20.00
