Inclusive Workshops on Saturday
info production >
This autumn, laGeste is organising a new series of inclusive workshops for a mixability group: for people with visible and invisible disabilities, people with and without (dance) experience and people with plenty of enthusiasm and body positivity. Age, body mass index, gender, religion, they are all allowed to play along, there must be diversity, disability leads to creativity.
The central theme this time is 'Welcome to the Hedonistic Research Lab', led by Arno Ferrera and Gilles Polet. The focus is on partnering, intimacy, and touch, always with care for each individual.
For this series, running until the end of December, we are working with various workshop leader, each engaging with the theme in their own unique way, either as a response or a counterproposal. For this reason, we ask the participants to commit to the full series.
In December, we will host a small showing for invited guests.
