S07 / Technosomatics
Workshop
with
Frédéric Gies
In the frame of Sommer Tanz 2016
Technosomatics is a practice that consists of a collective and individual exploration of the endocrine glands and chakras through club dancing to techno music as wells as the opposite: an exploration of club dancing while embodying the endocrine glands and the chackras. It is practiced mostly with closed eyes, and in a pitch-dark room. It approaches mainstream anatomy as a fiction, emphasizing the experienced body. It is also proposing another kind of collective and social experience, different from a somatic class and from the dance floor. It offers a safe place for going under the social, being alone together and indulging in altered states of consciousness.
In the frame of Open Spaces#2-2016 the workshop participants present a "Workshop Showing".
