handshakes and other snakes-partnering 10.00h - 18.00h

The first points of contact are often with hands and wrists (handshakes, pull and push, touch..). From these points we have developed unconventional exercises and we want to invite the participants to focus on finding the complexity and imagination for new possibilities with another body.
We propose very specific movement situations where we aim to obtain principles (rather than forms) where the body and the mind are challenged to discover situations that are unfamiliar and we aim to approach partnering from a different angle.
Later on, in the proposed partnering situations, the initiation of the movement is unreadable – who is leading and who is following?
