As part of the program series "Conjunctions – Acts of being in relation," choreographer André Uerba invites participants to a two-day Embodied Practice at Radialsystem. “Space Weavers” takes gestures of intimacy and dispositives of support (giving & receiving) as a creative and ethical impulse. It explores themes of affect and investigates structures and politics of intimacy through gestures, text, sound and touch.
“Space Weavers” is a lab that researches a choreography emerging from a cultivation of somatic practices. Participants are invited to explore their space weaver – their maker of spaces to inhabit – as an individual and as a collective body. Working across slow gestures, intimacy, presence, holding space, consent and soft touch, it proposes to examine the desire of belonging, of been seen, heard and held. Space Weavers explores and seeks to reimagine the rituals of gathering in the 21st century.
