Becoming Ivy: Choreographic games

af BecomingSpecies

The performance collective Becoming Species invites you to re-connect with the wild creatures we share the planet with. This morning you can become Ivy through choreographic games, which combine meditation and storytelling.
Have you been greeted by Ivy? They are everywhere. They can cause trouble as invasive species as the climate gets warmer, simultaneously indicating the ecosystem’s disturbance. They also teach us that ‘diversity is our survival'.

Ivy’s tendrils tend to reach and coil different species to access more resources and better growth. Learning from Ivy who connects differences, we will reach, coil, and connect each other’s different images and thoughts into a shared landscape to create visions for our flourishing futures.

We will play choreographic games: meditation, storytelling, echoing & transforming words, and movements to coil each other out.

The workshop is facilitated by choreographer Yeoung-Ran Suh and sound artist Rik Jespersen.

The workshop is part of a workshop-series by Becoming Species
Become soft like an octopus, fly like a bat, move like ivy, sense like a moth, and listen like an owl! Together with the activist performance group Becoming Species, we invite you to a workshop series on transforming into other species. The aim is to reconnect humans with all the wild creatures we share the planet with. The group uses methods such as movement, meditation, crocheting, mask making, nature therapy, sound, and more. Their practice grows out of play and curiosity about the wild species, and the fight for their right to exist and thrive.

All the other workshops will be in Danish.
