How can we make a shift...
…from individual self expression, to collective creativity?
…from perpetuating stale relationship patterns, to creative entities?
…from stuck and uncomfortable places, to the greatest possibility as a group, in each moment?
About Social Presencing Theater
Social Presencing Theater, a new synthesis between movement, embodied presence, dialogue, and stillness. It is not "theater" in the conventional sense, but it uses simple body postures and movements to dissolve limiting concepts, to communicate directly, to access intuition, and to make visible both current reality, and the deeper – often invisible – leverage points for creating profound change.
About this series
Over the course of the three sessions we’ll dive into the central exercises of Social Presencing Theater. Each exercises will be introduced by its basic principles, physically experienced and reflected in the group.
Each practice session will start with the solo-practice „20 minute dance“ and then lead into the more complex group practices:
Session 1: „Stuck Dance“, „Duetts“, „Dance of Five“
Session 2: „Seed Dance“
Session 3: „The Village“, „Stuck Dance (short version)“
The sessions build upon each other, yet can be visited separately as well. Digital handouts will be provided.

We aim to create an inclusive space. We are welcoming people of different appearance and worldviews, and expect from everyone to support this through mutual care and respect.
