[The Unrepeatable Moment]
Where am I when I am dancing? Who and what am I in dialogue with? How do I make creative and sensitive choices in relation to myself, others and my surroundings? This workshop is for those who wish to immerse themselves in the practice of learning, making and exploring improvisational dance and contact improvisation. Drawing on our many years of performing and teaching, we will offer specific compositional and technical exercises that are designed to support embodied dancing, witnessing, compositional awareness and choice making. We will consider how action, perception and imagination are at play as we explore our poetic sensibilities through movement and touch.

Her latest independent project Gift of Stone was shown at Varanger Sami Museum and at The Oslo Academy of the Arts in Oslo, spring of 2019. Here she explored the relationship between landscape, human and culture in the Varanger area. Gift of Stone relates to our intangible cultural heritage through landscape understanding, and anchors us to a place through building relationships.
Lisa's artistic practice consists of performance art, dance, choreography, sometimes photography and poetic reflectiosn that are presented in different contexts and formats. Practices such as deep listening, restorative yoga and conscious touch are also important components in the continuation and development of a work. She emphasizes interdisciplinary collaborations.
Workshop October 15, 15:50 - 17:30
At the festival iDance Japan, Katarina wish to invite the participants for an experience together outdoors. Here we will for a short while connects us to that which is around us and look at the notion of the gifts we are surrounded by. She invites the participants to join a workshop that including both practical tasks as well as reflection tasks about how we can perceive and interact with the landscape through our dance. Katarina herself questions how we can embody understanding of our surroundings through our dance, and is it possible to build a stronger connection with the environment by our dance? In case how would we do this individually – and or as a community?
The workshop will encourage deep listening in whatever ways it may meen for the individual and thoughts on ‘good relations’ will be put in light.

[Perceptual Transformation and World Making]
All animals perceive the world in their unique way, some with compound eyes, some with sonar and some with heat and vibration. The world is so abounding that we humans can only grasp a tiny part of it. Even so, every individual are all perceiving the world in their unique way. Thus I am always wondering, how can I not see what I saw and seeing something differently? In this workshop, we want to propose the possibility of perceptual transformation by dancing Contact Improvisation. Thus dance can be an active way of world making. Yes, we can change the world by dancing!
