Contemporary Workshops

Maky Grochain

The workshop focuses on the theme of moving: leaving one place, inhabiting another, experiencing new energies, changing habits, and redefining social circles. This transition from one space to another opens up a rich subject to explore through movement. We will delve into the states of the body related to travel, change, and the in-between.
How does the body react when it is uprooted? How does it adapt when it discovers new ground, a new orientation, a new rhythm?
The aim will be to inhabit these transitions, to feel how rootedness can coexist with passage, how movement can become a place in itself. A workshop to cross over, feel, let go, start again. A way of setting in motion what changes and finding support in what remains.

​The identity of the KANE company will guide this research: an anchored physicality, a deep relationship with the earth, a movement that starts from contact, weight, and stability found even in the midst of movement.

CLASH without CRASH is a workshop during which participants are invited to explore partnering skills such as leaning against a body and the ability to counterbalance the weight. They will experience how to support and use the weight of a body in motion, lift partners using minimal effort and make themselves light while being lifted in static and off-balance situations. They will play with different ways of giving and receiving weight in the action of leaning, climbing and jumping onto a partner. Participants will also learn to jump onto each other as well as to catch and absorb the impact of a jumping body without breaking the flow of the movement. Using dynamic partnering sequences, they will manipulate each other in different ways moving in space.
