Episode Synopsis
S1 Ep7 Dance workshop (Direction and Pathways)In this session, we turn our attention to where movement goes, to direction, pathway, and the lines our bodies trace through space. What determines where we move? Is it choice, curiosity, gravity, emotion, or something else entirely?We begin by drawing invisible lines through the air, straight, curved, spiralled, zigzagged, inspired by William Forsythe’s improvisation technologies, where the dancer becomes a kind of draftsman, sketching motion in space. From there, the session shifts toward losing and finding orientation: following impulses, sounds, or sensations that redirect us. We wander and deviate, noticing what happens when direction dissolves into discovery.The episode then explores the body as compass, guided not by left and right but by north, south, east, and west, a way to reimagine orientation as planetary rather than anatomical. This expands into experiments with momentum and redirection, asking: how can we keep moving without simply continuing? What does it mean to be redirected, by a wall, the floor, another person, without stopping?Finally, we play with forgetting direction: moving toward something, then letting go of the intention and finding a new path in the same motion. This practice of continuous reorientation invites a softer sense of purpose, where each line and curve becomes an open question.By the end, the focus widens back to daily life, noticing how direction and pathway shape not only our dancing, but the way we inhabit the world: every trace, curve, and hesitation a kind of personal choreography.Dance workshopExplore, imagine, move.A companion series to PETER, dance with.
