Vibration in the swarm [in English]
Gracefully navigating space and time without hindering others while basking in the radiant heat of enchanting collective movement. Swarming species seem to move with a single frequency and a collective awareness. How does this vibrate on a dance floor? Between two people dancing? Or in a circle? Can we find a common frequency? Come and find out!

SUNDAY
11 a.m. - 1 p.m
Movement in vibration with body and sound
How do we meet each other through dance? How do we relate to each other and how does the space around us form? During the workshop we will find out how it is possible to find diversity and joy in movement and connection through perception.
by Irina & Arielle
Singing vibration [in English]
We experience the vibration of our own body through the expression of one's own voice. A singing workshop with Lucile from the band Clume.
by Lucile [Clume]
Basque Vibrations [in English]
By using the “Bounce" of the Jauzis (Basque jumps), we will find the essence of the fandango or the Arin-Arin. We will get to the bottom of the origins of a selection of the thousands of Basque dances by moving, dancing, understanding and feeling their history... and swinging. Further information: here
by Izaskun Iturri
2.30 p.m. - 4 p.m
Pulsation within myself & with the other
How can I stay connected with both myself and my dance partner while dancing? How can all roles actively contribute to the shared flow of the dance, and how can rigid roles be softened? In this workshop, we will explore these questions together. It is beneficial if the basic steps of Scottish dance are already familiar.

What is "Schwingung" for you?
On floating chairs, we will delve into this question through conversation together.

Bourrée Auvergnate [in English]
The Bourrée Auvergnate is vibration around a center! An introduction to the Bourrée 3 Temps from Auvergne by Arizonà from Auvergne.
by Morgane& Maellis [Arizona]
Spaces and their vibrations!
We will immerse ourselves in the differences of different rooms and create our own expression of the different moods with musical and dance experiments. What does it trigger in us when the room is cold and dark? What kind of mood does a very bright room create? What form of expression can we give these moods?
from Linda
Poetic vibration [in several languages]
"The space dwells in silent vibrations,
The bells nod, ebb dream after dream,
And in the halls longer, dream-lengthened,
Hang on us the ringing that has already died down." -
Rilke
Under the sway of sounds, poems about vibrations will be recited.
While lying down and without seeing influences, you will be surrounded by sounds.
