This workshop invites participants into an ongoing process of inquiry. Working through exploration of embodied knowledge, memory, and transmission. Through movement and experimentation, participants will discover connections between their own practices and those of others, while remaining open to unexpected encounters and new possibilities.
This session delves into the concept of dance as a living archive, exploring how bodies, movement practices, memories, and relationships serve as dynamic repositories of knowledge beyond conventional documentation.
Painscriptions is a workshop emerging from Sina Saberi’s choreographic research on pain, informed by medical practices such as EMDR and Somatic Experiencing among others. Through simple somatic instructions and shared movements, participants are invited into an embodied exploration of pain. Drawing on Saberi’s concept of “writing pain,” the workshop approaches pain as a lived experience that can be witnessed, engaged with, and moved through collectively.
Sina Saberi is a dance artist, performer, and cultural worker based in Germany. With a background in literature, theater, and movement, he creates interdisciplinary and immersive experiences with and for the public, often engaging with public, semi-public, and other spaces.
