two-day workshop
Body Weather is a comprehensive approach to training and performance that investigates the intersections of bodies and their environments. Bodies are conceived not as fixed and separate entities but as constantly changing – just like the weather. Weather is seen as a complex system of forces and influences coursing through and beyond bodies and the world.
The term and philosophical basis for Body Weather was founded in the early 1980s by dancer Min Tanaka. Frank van de Ven was a member of Tanaka's Maijuku Performance Company in Japan from 1983–1991. As a training, Body Weather is of relevance to anyone interested in exploring the body and physical presence and this workshop is suited to dance, theatre and movement practitioners, and to artists of various backgrounds.
A specific field of inquiry for this Prague workshop will be the interaction and symbiotic relation between language and movement from a Body Weather perspective. We look at how minds and bodies work together and explore ways to dis- and re-connect them, and use what we find in dance and theatre improvisation and composition.
