The workshop is a theatrical and philosophical exploration of energy, movement, and friction. Building on Eleni Stecopoulos 'Dreaming in the Fault Zone: a poetics of healing' we will investigate, explore, and play around the themes of skill and expectations of doing well, being well, and connecting well. In the workshop we will question how collective work and personal wellbeing go together and what the push and pull between the two is. Plus cats.
