BECOMING WORM: PERFORMANCE WORKSHOPS
With actor and theatre pedagogue Anne-Marie von Löw
What worms away at you? What sort of worm are you? How does it feel to be a worm? How do we move when we suddenly become a worm? In a succession of workshops we will activate our senses and experiment with how it feels to squirm. Using sound and dance, we will enter into the world of the most ancient of all animals: the worm.
