We are brought up to sit on the bus, stand in a line, and wait for the green light. Our everyday movements are reduced to a very limited vocabulary. But the public spaces of a city offer a really exciting labyrinth of different structures!
In this workshop with React we explore, in a playful way, the different possibilities of movement our surroundings offer. By bending social rules and by looking critically at public spaces we will try to open up for creativity and find connections in unexpected meetings. Is it possible to change a room just by acting differently in it? In the workshop, we will create a miniperformance and do it in a chosen public space. No previous experience is needed - anyone and everyone is welcome to join!
