Workshop Description:
Introduction, embodied exploration and reflection.
Description: This workshop offers a three-hour exploration of movement, drawing from artistic research. This ongoing research aims to reconsider institutionalised and commercialised narratives in dance across various contexts, which often restrict personal expression and marginalise diverse cultural and individual perspectives. The workshops draw attention to embodied memories, movement habits, and dance as subjective and inclusive practice.
“The work of dancers and/or choreographers is inseparable from the shared learning process; these experiences shape our own dancing. After working with the body for a long time, we become trained. As trained bodies, we can try to explore the process of unlearning because of the need to reclaim our subjectivity. How can we generate the dance itself, rather than choose from already-established styles, techniques and our habits? This is a proposal to try and look back at what we had established and try to practise unlearning so we could take back the power of dance, power of the dancing body, or the dance body.” - Indre Gin
The "Unlearning Dance” workshops, usually led by artists collective: Indrė Gin and Retno Sulistyorini, Agus Margiyanto and Ieva Ginkevičiūtė. This time it will be presented by artist Indre Gin.

👥👥👥👥 Baltic Dance Network is a new joint initiative led by partners from Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia. It aims to create a safe space for Baltic contemporary dance artists to connect and analyse their shared past, explore Baltic dance identity, as well as understand each Baltic country’s context and uniqueness. Together, we aim to recognise and express historical legacies, enhancing confidence in the international dance field, and empowering artists to reflect current political or other challenges through their art.
The Network has received Long-term Network funding from the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture to establish the project “Baltic Dance Network: Navigating Identity in the Face of Changes”.
