Welcome to a physical–mental–vocal–spiritual laboratory inspired by the Palestinian Dabke, reimagined in a contemporary and local spirit. Through movement-language we explore ritual, tribalism, and cycles, while questioning old patterns and opening space for new possibilities, emotions, and critical reflections. What states of being motivate our bodies to move? How do emotions shape our rhythm, musicality, and presence in space? This practice is not about rushing toward answers, but about listening, allowing resonance to echo through our bodies, as individuals and as a collective, in constant transformation. The workshop will be led by Misan Samara and Nur Garabli and is open to all. No previous dance experience required!
Where: Dansens hus foyer
When: Saturday Nov 15 at 19.30
Free and open to all levels. No previous dance experience needed.
