About<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

This four day WORKSHOP:dance invites disabled and \u2011nondisabled artists with an existing practice to work, question, and experiment together in an environment built around access, curiosity, and shared authorship. Each day begins with a collective warm\u2011up practice shaped by the needs, rhythms, and capacities of everyone in the room. This opening session remains fluid and adaptive, offering space to arrive, tune in, and prepare for the work ahead. Throughout the day, we will move through a range of choreographic and improvisatory explorations, including solo, duet, and group tasks informed by the diverse practices of the artists present.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Participants are invited to bring their own research questions, embodied knowledge, and artistic curiosities. These will actively shape the direction of the workshop. We will close each day with a shared reflection, gathering insights, naming emerging questions and identifying possibilities to carry forward into the following session. At the heart of the WORKSHOP:dance is a commitment to accessible practice: finding ways to share space, collaborate, and support one another while honouring both individual and collective needs. Together, we will explore how access can be generative, relational, and integral to artistic enquiry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I <\/em>want to be with you.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t go, then I don\u2019t want to go.\u00a0 If we are traveling together, sharing political space together, building political family together, then I want to be with you.\u00a0 I want us to be together.
<\/em>(Mia Mingus 2010<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The workshop is informed by Kate\u2019s long-term exploration of leadership within dance and disability. It asks how leadership might be understood not as a role or position, but as something already present within our practices \u2014 in how we organise, teach, care, make and create together. Rather than fitting a prescribed model of leadership, the workshop recognises the extensive knowledge held by disabled artists: knowledge of bodies, choreography and pedagogy that can open new ways of working in the arts. There will be time to explore ideas of radical access and inclusion beyond participation, moving towards autonomous artistic practice. We will also address \u201caccess clashes\u201d \u2014 moments when different needs conflict \u2014 and consider how they can be navigated so that every body and mind is accounted for.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The WORKSHOP:dance will be held in English, with peer-to-peer interpretation into German spoken language available upon request.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The professional training is aimed at professional and semi-professional dancers, choreographers, performers, facilitators and dance educators, with and without disabilities. Participants should bring some experience in the field of dance and movement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The WORKSHOP:dance offers a space to intensify and deepen one\u2019s own artistic practice and to continue developing on an ongoing basis. The format is understood particularly as empowerment for artists with disabilities who are already working actively and who wish to further develop their artistic practice, professional perspectives or visibility in a focused way, or who have questions regarding leadership in this field. The workshop creates an inclusive working environment that enables collaboration on equal terms, exchange and collective artistic creation.<\/p>\n
