  2. S1 Ep18 Dance Workshop (Copying, Interpretation, and Misunderstanding)

    23 MARS ·  BONUS

    S1 Ep18 Dance Workshop (Copying, Interpretation, and Misunderstanding)

    S1 Ep18 Dance Workshop (Copying, Interpretation, and Misunderstanding) This workshop explores copying as a choreographic practice, focusing on interpretation, accuracy, deviation, and misunderstanding. Rather than treating copying as uncreative or secondary, the episode examines how copying produces difference, imagination, and movement through what is lost, exaggerated, remembered, or transformed. The session begins by inviting listeners to copy something as accurately as possible, before shifting toward copying badly on purpose by prioritising a single aspect such as timing, effort, or direction. These contrasting approaches open questions around what is valued, ignored, or permitted when we copy movement. From there, the workshop explores copying from memory, noticing what disappears, what becomes distorted, and what remains as residue. Attention is given to how memory shapes interpretation and how distance in time alters what is reproduced. The session then moves into copying across mediums, translating movement into words, drawing, sound, or other forms, and then back into movement, foregrounding translation as a choreographic tool. The episode proposes copying as an ongoing chain of reformulations, a practice of moving movement through different bodies, mediums, and interpretations. Through this, the workshop asks where copying ends and interpretation begins, whether accuracy ever truly matters, and how misunderstanding might be a productive and creative force within dancing and choreography. Dance workshop Explore, imagine, move. A companion series to PETER, dance with. These short audio workshops invite you to explore dance through imagination, movement, and curiosity. A space to rethink what dance can be, anywhere, for anyone.

  3. S1 Ep17 Dance Workshop (Instruction, Authority, and Following)

    16 MARS ·  BONUS

    S1 Ep17 Dance Workshop (Instruction, Authority, and Following)

    S1 Ep17 Dance Workshop (Instruction, Authority, and Following) This workshop focuses on instruction and authority as core choreographic materials. Rather than treating authority as something held by a single person or role, the episode explores how authority emerges, shifts, leaks, and is negotiated through instruction, sensation, memory, time, and context. Through a performative score titled Stand, listeners are invited to experience how even the simplest instruction is never neutral, how it organises bodies, perceptions, histories, and values. Standing becomes a site for questioning obedience, resistance, consent, politics, care, and inheritance, asking who taught us how to stand, for whom, and why. The workshop then moves through a series of practices: following instructions while internally disagreeing, leading through vague or contradictory instructions, delaying obedience to observe how memory and desire reshape what is followed, and finally working with multiple authorities at once, instruction, sensation, and memory. Throughout, the session asks what causes our dancing, how we negotiate internal and external authority, and what it might mean to choreograph with multiple authorities rather than choosing one. Instruction is approached not as control, but as a space of ambiguity, creativity, and care. Dance workshop Explore, imagine, move. A companion series to PETER, dance with.
