How do we connect, express, and create before language steps in?
This 3-hour performative lab invites you into pre-verbal space: using movement and non-verbal sound as core tools for communication and collective creation.
Together, we will move through:
- Somatic grounding and breath: Shifting focus away from everyday habits and into deep body awareness.
- Presence and space: Exploring individual and group physical dynamics through performative movement.
- Vocal resonance and tone: Introducing breath and voice to deepen intuitive listening between bodies.
- Collective improvisation: Synthesizing these tools to co-create an unscripted, spontaneous performance scene.
Whether you are a performer, mover, or curious explorer, this space is open to all experience levels.
Voluntary contribution: suggested 10–15 euros
What to bring: Water and comfortable clothes to move in. We work barefoot (or feel free to bring non-slip socks / clean indoor shoes).
Registration: OPEN STAGE NOORD – Sunday Performance Exploration
In this community project, we will use laboratory-based theatre methods, somatic practices, and improvisation to explore movement, voice, and collective storytelling. This is not a traditional acting class; it is a community-driven project focused on body awareness, stage presence, and the liberation of the voice and body. Together, we will work individually and as an ensemble to create a safe, non-judgmental space for connection and creative exploration.
