The classes start on 8th of June. For further information please contact bewegungsraum@streikhaus.ch.
The movement room is small, but cute: There is a mirror wall and soon we will have a soundsystem, so we can offer a space where different forms of body expressions can be acted out. It should be a space where you can discover your body – dance, theater, martial arts, yoga etc. – and without inhibition! We from the WG Movement space got together, because we want to dance without being judged for our dance style, without standing in concurrence to other dancers. We want to offer a platform for people who wouldn’t dare to use their body to express themselves in other places. We are different and so are our ideas: We want to offer flamenco lessons for beginners, found a self-organised improvising theatre group, start an open bGirl*-Training for encouragement and consolidation of cypher-& Improvisation culture, Latin-American dances, improvisational dance trainings etc. Join our WG Movement Space if you want to participate in a course, if you have more ideas to offer and/or you want to help with the organisation and the maintenance of the movement space.

Course descriptions:
dance as an emancipatory praxis
“I also want to think with my foot and act with my back.”
In this workshop we will look at the body, not as an entity but the many autonomous units, contradicitions and discourses, and this through dancing.
After warming up we want to work through improvisation with the given structure of our body, create a conscious in many different parts of our body and through this enlarge our thinking and acting body. There are many demands to the female body and beliefs how it has to be moved. We want to deconstruct these beliefs and demands, through dancing.

Maybe you know flamenco from your last holidays in Andalusia, or from the Tv star Nina Corti. The Art, which was created in the South of Spain, is has many faces and goes from traditional to very modern mixed forms. In this course we will look at what is happening in the courtyard in Andalusia and not on the big stages: Improvisation and the sharing of Flamenco. We will look at the different rhythms and the clapping that accompanies these, we will learn dance elements that can be broadly used and developed further and we will learn how we can motivate each other. This means we will find out who we want to be while dancing. How can we put together our strengths? Use our negative emotions that we had to endure based on our gender to form something good? Show our teeths? Show our weakness and use them to our advantage? Flamenco has historically a lot to do with women* as victim of patriarchy and I would like to bring you flamenco as an art form closer, to help you deal with this.
