Rosa Aiello & Dylan Aiello

This is a movement based workshop with Dylan Aiello at anorak’s new space in Berlin Tempelhof.

In this workshop we will explore the concept of circuit, as a path, a repetition, a refuge, a habit, a ritual of transcendence. We will perform a series of games and exercises to sensitise ourselves to interpersonal and spatial relationships and explore the many ways that circuit can take root in and reflect on the space that contains it. The workshop is open to people of all abilities, no particular acting, dancing or performing background is necessary to participate. It will be held in English. Please come with clothing that allows you to move as freely as possible. Thanks to the generous support of anorak, there is no cost for the workshop.If you would like to participate, please RSVP at: hello@anorakanorak.com.

The workshop is part of LOVE TEST: Cruising for a Bruising, a newly developed piece featuring film, live performance, and song by Rosa Aiello, Dylan Aiello & Friends, which premieres on Friday, 19 May 2023 at anorak. More info here.
