Play, Move, Dance: The story of your body. 17.00 cet (4 pm UK)


STEPHAN MARCHANT

“During this creative workshop, doing and experiencing are key. In this session you will go on a personal research together with others, using your body as a guiding tool. Through playful movement assignments you will discover how your body moves and which story it brings to life. The easy-to-do creative assignments enable you to experience more energy, joy & flow in your body. This energizing session allows you to (re)connect with your body’s wisdom, playfulness & aliveness and to connect with others in your authentic way.

 

In this workshop, your body is the instrument to make connection with yourself and others. It’s all about your personal experience and your inner dance process. This session is about making contact with your authenticity and your own creativity, not about performing the perfect dance. Dancing, moving, playing and experimenting gives you insight into your own unique way of expression and offers you the opportunity to express your inner story.

During the workshop there will also be time for reflection, exchange of experience and dialogue. 

 

This workshop is for everyone, from 18 years to … You don’t have to be flexible or have any dance experience, just a lot of desire to move. Dive into the experience! Come and discover your playfulness through your body: move a little, shake a little and laugh a lot.

 

 

Playing the Parts 19.00 cet (6 pm UK)

ROBBIE FOULSTON

A brief toe-dip into the waters of the Fool – exploring how to express all our inner characters playfully!

 

“The character of the Fool can lightly step between all those different emotions we humans feel, as easily as taking a mask on & off. Robbie offers few games and exercises to explore our own inner “”masks””, and feel relieved that it’s not only us that’s got a whole cast in there…

 

This workshop will draw on Jungian theory about Archetypes, or different “”parts”” of the psyche, and the ancient and revived form of “”Fooling”” – playing all the different parts – as taught by Franki Anderson.

 

We will have a little warm up, try embodying different characters, and then look at some exercises and activities you can take away to get to know your inner cast a little better.

 

We may look at some of the most universal and regular members of the cast, including: the Inner Critic, the Inner Child, the Polite People Pleaser and the Wild One.”

ENGLISH SESSIONS BELOW

Gibberish and Nonsense 11.00 cet
Lucia Berdini

Il Gibberish è il linguaggio della filosofia del Nonsense e, se parlato anche solo per qualche minuto, ci aiuta ad attingere a un enorme potenziale nascosto. Il gibberish è una forma di meditazione dinamica che “privilegiando il corpo e tagliando fuori la nostra parte razionale” è in grado di agire sulla creatività, lo stato emotivo, l’autostima, l’assertività.

Ci insegna a gestire gli imprevisti, a giocare con gli “scherzi” della vita e a prendere il timone nelle (a volte) agitate acque dell’esistenza. Senza farsi troppe domande sul passato, sul futuro e sui perché e senza l’incubo del giudizio (proprio ed altrui) ma stando ben piantati nel presente, sapendo che nel Gibberish tutto è possibile.

E’ il linguaggio o strumento di comunicazione più antico al mondo, che accomuna tutti i bambini… è la lingua più universale che esista ma a differenza delle altre, nel Gibberish non si pensa né si giudica, non si conferisce alle parole alcuna interpretazione.

Il Gibberish ha a che fare con la cosiddetta “saggezza del corpo” laddove i modi di comunicare attraverso altri linguaggi sono correlati alla “sapienza mentale” o “intelligenza psichica”. Nel Gibberish, ed è l’unica regola, “vale tutto”. E per quanto possa suonare come un vero discorso (in altre lingue magari sconosciute all’ascoltatore), in realtà non veicola alcun significato.

Giocheremo con i bambini dentro di noi,

Improvviseremo,

Useremo la voce,

Ci guarderemo negli occhi

Esprimeremo le nostre emozioni

Rideremo

Durante un workshop di Gibberish il super-io adulto si destruttura molto in fretta. Come? Mandando in tilt l’emisfero razionale del cervello e attivando le risorse creative innate di ognuno.

Giochi di Autenticità – relazioni in gioco  15.00

Michele Pierangeli
Scopriamo nuove parti di noi e mettiamoci in gioco, insieme.

“Riesci ad esprimere il te più autentico? La versione di te più congruente con quello che pensi, sei e fai? Ti capita di sentirti diverso dagli altri ?

In questa sessione proporremo alcune pratiche di gioco per esplorare questo tema. Partiremo da noi stessi entrando più in contatto gli altri, con le sfide condivise che viviamo e con parti che magari a volte non ci permettiamo di osservare ed esprimere in modo creativo. Noi proporremo i giochi, voi co-creerete i contenuti.

Ci alleneremo ad entrare in relazione, con sostenibilità e autenticità, mostrandoci per quanto desideriamo, ascoltando attivamente, aprendoci a storie ed emozioni.

Scarabocchio Creativo  19.00

Stefano Passarella

Mindful Play 11.00 cet (10 am UK)

Exploring how meditation and play can be a conduit to self-awareness.

Holly will lead you through a short meditation, with the aim of helping you turn your attention inwards to connect with how you are right now. From here, we’ll move seamlessly into a guided physical play session, exploring the possibility of authentic play. The invitation is to play within the bounds of your energetic, physical and emotional limitations, adapting all the exercises to suit you.

At the end of the play session, Holly will guide you through a short reflection, to help you articulate your own pearls of wisdom to take away from the session.

Unfortunately Holly can’t make it so we will do a collaborative playful warmup this morning!

Bart Durand

Embodied stories on-line Play is an online storytelling workshop. That will invite you to share stories with our playful body, through moving, talking and stillness by yourself and the other.

“This online workshop is a series of invitations that take us on a playful journey, sometimes on your own sometimes with a partner or all together, as performer and as witness or both at the same time. Discover by sharing and witnessing the stories that are in us. This time we will focus on stories about “Playing and Distance”. 

It is all about celebrating the playfulness and creativity that is in you and me. 

The workshop is based on the practices of InterPlay, Improvisation Theater, Social Presencing Theater, Clowning and my experience as an on-and off-line facilitator of play. It will focus on the good and the joy. It is suitable for everyone with the willingness to play, a laptop(or similar device) and a reasonable Internet connection.  Both for the experienced and the non-experienced, from age 18 and up. You can’t fail with this workshop as long as you take care of yourself, the other and the space we share.

I am trying to figure out what my play practice is. One thing I know for

Come and playfully investigate and share experiences of ‘the material of the internet’ through different ways of playing see how these experiences could possibly feed into your daily play practice.  As the online space has become more a part of our daily practice, this session will play with the ‘material’ of the internet, playfully investigating and working WITH the limitations and frustrations of this online space.

Sunday

Play workout 10.00 cet (9 am UK)

Jessica Penrose and Melanie Taylor
Fast-paced games for the Zoom generation.

“Non-competitive play is a great way for adults to reduce stress and boost confidence. It can also open up new horizons – when we allow ourselves to connect through play, we unlock creativity, generate ideas and see the familiar with fresh eyes. In this Play Workout, there are no personal bests, no dumb bells and definitely no lycra.  Games are short and snappy with a high risk of laughter and have been tried and tested on Zoom. We’ll be standing up, sitting down, being loud, being quiet, using our bodies, using our instincts, even rediscovering talents we’d forgotten we had.

Say ‘yes’ and follow the fun!

Touching the world: Tactility in Play Design 14.00 cet (1 pm UK)

Mathias Poulsen
This play session is about exploring tactility and touch – at a distance.

“There is often a great deal of touch involved in playing, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. We touch the world around us and we touch each other. Play is a touching affair.
The same can be said for design – and play design specifically. When we design for play, we use our hands and bodies as much as our heads.
What happens, then, when touch is suddenly not allowed? When it could lead to someone dying? How do we play and how do we design for play under these conditions?
In this play session, we’ll experiment with the notion of tactility at a distance, exploring our local surroundings, touching everything  and sharing the experience.
