On Power
Performative workshop series
Embark on a transformative journey through the thought-provoking art of Paula Rego in this immersive series of performative workshops exploring the themes of power and surrender in a playful way. Through a combination of embodiment, play, reflection, and experimental activities, participants will deepen their own understanding of the concepts, narratives and the complexities of power dynamics and their impact, emotions, and the human psyche. Let’s create a space where reflection, sharing and questioning are encouraged within a guided structure.
The workshops are suited to all shapes of bodies regardless their level of fitness.
Minimum age is 16 years.
