Description
Groundmovement is an invitation to rediscover the floor as a creative space. Its roots lie in an intensive exploration of the dance style known as breaking. However, the various techniques and material are deliberately modified and broken down to their essence—these are not classic breaking moves, but transformed forms that enable free, flowing, and individual expression. What makes this method special is its openness: it can be integrated into a wide variety of dance and movement styles and opens up new avenues of physical expression. By learning specific movement patterns and using creative concepts, a practice emerges that encourages people of all experience levels to expand their movement horizons, refine structures, and at the same time find space for their own creativity—leading to free, conceptually rich, and poetically flowing movement on the floor.
Accessibility, Content Note & Sensory Stimulations
The workshop will be conducted in English and involves intense physical activity consisting of floor work. Participants will learn the techniques and movements in a supportive and positive environment. Participants with sensitive knees are advised to bring knee pads so that they feel comfortable during the floor exercises. Long pants and socks covering the ankles are also recommended. Mostly house or electronic music will be played. However, it will mainly be in the background and will only come to the fore at times when trying out different concepts. Information about our location & studio access in Kreuzberg, which unfortunately are not wheelchair accessible, can be found on our website. We offer a solidarity discount (workshop spots at a reduced price) for people living in financially precarious situations, including people from crisis areas, BIPoC, trans*, queer and disabled people. For questions or further information, please contact Zoé Duflot at workshop@tanzfabrik-berlin.de.
Biographies
Lukas Robitschko
Lukas, 35 years old and living in Frankfurt, has been active as a dancer since 2001. His career began at the age of 11 when he discovered breakdancing. Around 15 years ago, he began to focus increasingly on free and flowing floor movements. He was particularly fascinated by the meditative state that arises when performing these movements, as well as the pursuit of maximum freedom of movement on the floor. Inspired by contemporary dance, free movement, and tai chi, he developed his program “Groundmovement by Lukas Robitschko,” which was released in May 2022 and financially supported by the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland (German Dance Association). www.groundmovement.de
