Workshop von Edan Gorlicki
PUSH & PULL – Understanding Conflict through Movement
in Kooperation mit TANZ Karlsruhe.
If we are going to live together, we need to be able to dance together. The workshop will explore and experiment with non-verbal exercises embodying a deeper understanding of conflict and negotiation. It is aimed at humanizing the „other“. Its goal is to relook at how we approach each other? How can we create a common ground? And how can we use our body and movement to better understand, in an artistic way, the complexities involved in conflict?
PUSH & PULL is part of Edan Gorlicki’s ongoing research project ANTI-LOUD supported by INTER-ACTIONS Heidelberg:
Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the ongoing conflict over Israel/Palestine, and the recent escalation after the attack of Hamas on October 7th, 2023, the atmosphere in our society has shifted where tensions and insecurities in our interactions with one another are practically a norm. Increasing polarization in many areas is very noticeable. How we speak and deal with one another is alarming. This led Edan Gorlicki to the questions: How do we deal with polarization as artists? How can we create and deepen connections at the regional level when they are overshadowed by complex international conflicts? How can we manage to use our toolkit of movement and artistic work to promote personal interactions and to create spaces where tensions and ambiguities are perhaps first revealed, but also endured? How can we make conflict an opportunity? How can we make this process as empathic and humane as possible and offer an intimate setting using non-verbal means of communication?
