This is a transdisciplinary two-day workshop to experiment with writing and movement improvisation. As a participant you will explore, expand, and question the limits and convergences between writing and body movement. 

Together we will write and read in movement, practice collective forms of writing, writing in relation, dancing in writing and reading. We will work with movement techniques, texts, and elements of everyday life such as grocery shopping lists and playlists. 

Our aim is to offer a space where we can play across differences and misunderstandings. We would like to wander and activate new questions around how transdisciplinary collaborations give way to different forms of sense making.
