Description

The workshop explores movement as a form of meditation by training attention through the body, space, relational awareness, and endurance. Participants are guided through slow floor-to-standing warm-ups, spatial orientation exercises, group navigation tasks, and sustained hip articulation practices. The figure 8 and hip whine function as movement pathways rather than stylistic goals, supporting inquiry into effort, fatigue, persistence, and decision-making over time. Breath is integrated throughout as a pathway for orienting attention and regulating endurance. The workshop emphasizes clarity, choice, and duration, making it accessible to participants with varied movement backgrounds. At its core, the practice investigates how attention shifts as physical and sensory demands change. Hip articulation becomes a practical tool for staying with sensation, effort, and repetition, while observing how breath, fatigue, and relational dynamics influence movement and choice and how overall this movement practice becomes a form of meditation.

Biographies

Djibril Sall

Djibril Sall (he/him) is a queer Senegalese choreographer and writer based in Berlin, Germany. Born in Dakar, he grew up working class in the Deep South of the United States of America and was educated at the “elite” Wesleyan University where he graduated with a degree in dance before immigrating to Europe. Djibril describes himself in these terms to illustrate the range of marginalization and privilege he has as someone who went from the peripheries of the Global South to someone who can now move somewhat unencumbered within the confines of the Global North. Djibril's work is situated at the intersection of migration and belonging, where he questions the reasons that force people to leave. This questioning includes his migration background and his insights into (non-)belonging and being in-between. The most important question Djibril asks himself and his audience is: “How can we use our traumas as a starting point to explore practices of pleasure, letting go and disclosure, and open-hearted connection?”
