About SPIRAAL
SPIRAAL is an original, contemporary approach to the creative process through whirling practice.
This edition of Spiraal workshop is dedicated to TIME. Apart from intense work on sustained spinning and spiraling, fear and abandon, disorientation and body/mind (dis)connection, we shall observe the nonlinear possibilities of reading the time, its spiraling qualities and the shifted perception of it in trance-like states.
The build-up is inspired by techniques of breathing, internal martial arts and organic approach to body and mind motion.
An introduction to ritualistic elements in contemporary performance is given through structured improvisations.
OPEN LEVEL
SPIRAAL workshop is suitable for any person engaged in corporal practice (dancers, performers, actors, martial arts or yoga practitioners… both amateurs and professionals).

Performance Workshop VITESSE
VITESSE is a workshop that focuses mainly on timing – extreme speed and slow motion as well as making choices within an open structure. It is a two-days training by Valentina Lacmanović ending in public presentation of the work-in-progress.
VITESSE is a training that challenges the participants to dive into extreme tempos without losing presence or focus, and to keep the “point zero” of inner calm within the pressure of decision-making. The goal is to find out how to deal with the notion of time in condensed, performance-like situations and sharpen the body /mind response to intuition.
Program of the training
- warm – up inspired by internal martial arts and breathing techniques
- testing the individual limits within extreme tempos during simple but physically and mentally challenging exercises
- understanding structure and finding freedom within the precise tasks
- building awareness of the functions of the mind within decision-making process and responses of the body to it
- brief theoretical insight into the notion of Time through the evolution of performance art
Dates: Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 May 2015
Time: 14:00 – 18:00
Costs: € 30 euros for one day training € 50 for both days
Level: for anyone engaged in regular dance/movement practice
