YOGAxME

In this yoga workshop it’s about more than just aligning the body, mind and spirit, here we want to tap into the ME. Me can be understood as the individual presenting themselves, or as Movement & Empowerment. The joy of moving our bodies, in our own individual ways to express how we feel or perceive the world at the moment. We will be listening to different sounds and music to guide us through the workshop.

TWERKSHOP

Reconnecting through your pelvis
We often run through our life’s, haunted by stress and to do’s. This Twerkshop will give you the opportunity to reconnect with your body on a physical & mental level. The only goal is to let your body be & feel it.
This workshop is a healing experience lead by mangoranges a queer dancer & filmmaker.
As we hold a lot of stress in our hips, in order to release that tension, mangoranges will let you explore several ways of moving & shaking your pelvis through a mixture of hip rotating, twerking & stretching movements which intend to strengthen the connection to African & Caribbean heritage. Exploring through a mixture of contemporary, African & Caribbean dance styles.
No prior dance experience needed. Movers of all levels are welcome!
Bring comfy, stretchy clothes the you like to move & sweat in!

QUEER ILLUSTRATIONS

Im Workshop würde ich gerne einen Austausch über Möglichkeiten und politische Spannungsfelder der Darstellung von Körperlichkeit in der figurativen Zeichnung bieten. Inklusive zeichnen, Zine making und plaudern.

Ari is an Illustrator and Garderobier, currently studying Contextual Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. He focuses primarily on researching queer history, mainly through biographies as they provide a tool to decentralize an imagined collective and linear historiography. This shift of attention towards the interconnections and the contradictory simultaneity of lived realities is Ari’s foundation for his work with drawing and text.
