Movement workshop: Salience network

In this workshop you will get a glimpse of some of the materials offered by the performance “s a l i e n c e n e t w o r k”. Choreographer Júlia Vavra will share with the participants the movement practices developed during the process. Through a series of exercises, your attention will be guided between the outside, the inside and all the spaces in between.

You will explore different states of processing, generating and receiving information, and the shifts, overlaps and subtle boundaries between them. You will be invited into movement practices that draw your attention to your own body and to what is happening within it. You will also experiment with different ways of guiding and capturing your own and each other’s attention, exploring what your body communicates to the outside world and how shaping it differently can bring different information and meanings into a shared space.

You will play with overstimulation, invite and ride your imagination, practise multitasking, give your brain a chance to relax and explore letting go through movement.

This workshop is for anyone curious to become a little more conscious of questions such as: How is your attention guided? How do you make attention travel, and where do you direct the attention of others? How does your body carry and generate information? How can you find moments of processing and relaxation through dance and movement, while letting your imagination and subconscious wander freely?
