Rituals of Repair is an ​evolving creative research project involving artists, film makers and choreographers

The Rituals of Repair is not about mending things – its about recognising what is broken, flawed, fractured or conflicted and coming to a position where we can hold the contradictions and scale and our own complicity– a place to stop thinking and allow other gears to turn.

Can we create a choreography of optimism - explore the creation of a private practice that would, if not repair the world, at least reorientate our own relationships with it? And could this choreography be created in collaboration with others, but performed individually? A private observance rooted in a shared understanding that rights our sense of the world as it unravels around us.

Led by dancer/choreographers Bill Coleman (Canada) and Claire Pencak (Scotland), this workshop will be exploring processes and practices for making new choreographies that allow us to stay dancing with the trouble. In the spirit of sympoesis or 'making with', we will be collectively creating a movement score that can be shared and performed, as a way to create 'Rituals of Repair'.

You do not need previous dance training to join this workshop but some experience or interest in movement will be helpful.
