Logomotion

L𝗼𝗴𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is an improvisational dance/narrative form wherein movement and words spring spontaneously from a common source. The performative form was developed by Simone Forti. She quotes: "It’s been a way for me to know what is on my mind. What is on my mind, before I think it through, while it is still a wild feeling in my bones.“

In this workshop, Nóra will lead us through a warm-up focusing on inner sensations using moment-to-moment awareness tuning. We will then explore spontaneous movement and speech that arises in the moment. Every movement is valuable and can carry information. As we move, images can come into our mind and we can unfold these images through words and movement until they come to life. In practicing Logomotion, the class will mainly use observation, explorations in nature, some possible spontaneous writing, and concentrated studio time for moving and talking in a laboratory setting. The class will spend some time outside the studio observing and being in nature.
