Workshop language: English

A workshop on object manipulation under the aspect of movement. Liza van Brakel shows how to use juggling/objects in your movement vocabulary. The focus is not on learning to juggle, the technical aspect, but starting with one object, later with several objects, the participants playfully find/learn movement possibilities with objects.

Liza van Brakel discovered her love of object manipulation during her studies at Codarts Circus Arts (Rotterdam) and developed this discipline from a physical point of view into her own art form. The Dutch artist is a member of Gandini Juggling and Circus Fahraway, among others.
