Body resonance based on butoh and organic movement workshop by Yumiko Yoshioka
Japan/Germany, 18 – 22 Dec. 2007

Through a dialogue with the body, the participants will not learn how to move, but how to be moved, consequently realizing that we are all a part of a universal wholeness.

Letters Towards an Exceptional Clown by Wahid El Ajmi
Tunisia, 5-10 June 2010
The workshop embodies Wahid's personal approach to the art of the clown. Through questioning this art (its techniques and the investments it engenders), the workshop aims to liberate the actor from all typical trappings (stereotypes, archetypes, prototypes). This is done by getting over the make up and the grotesque costumes, by forgetting all the clichés and diving into ourselves, right into our pure and infantile humor, where our own clown hides…“Everyone has a clown, let's look for it!”
