This workshop is part the educational programme “Without Distance” 2025, which is part of the project „Life Long Burning – Future Lost and Found (LLB 3) and is realized with the financial support of the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, National Culture Fund, programme “Creative Europe”, and in partnership with Goethe-Institut Bulgarien.

Maud Blandel’s workshop is an invitation to explore her approach to “open” composition, based on notions of interdependence and reciprocity. Through a series of collective practices and improvisation exercises, the workshop will invite participants to explore the gaze, the walk and the space between two bodies as tools for developing a common language.

Tackling questions of extended listening, presence and performativity, the workshop will also be a time for conversation about the respective choreographic practices and experiences of the participants.
