Dancing Around The World- Bogota April 13th - 18th, 2015 at Casona de la Danza in Bogota.
Bogota Workshop Intensive with Nejla Yatkin What moves Bogota?

Join Nejla Yatkin to explore both intimately and broadly the interaction of people, movement and the environment through dance, video and sound. Join us to learn to move and play through space and time.

The more you have experienced your being in different ways and the more engaged you are with what you experience, the more you have to share with the participant viewer and yourself. Your palette as a mover is rife with possibilities. In this workshop we will explore what moves people and how people in Bogota move.  We will create awareness through guided improvisation exercises to experience individual movement qualities, sensations, and dynamics as well as to create an understanding how you relate with other bodies in space and time. Additionally we will create phrases to share with each other. Selected participants will also have the possibility to perform it in various selected sites in the city at the end of the workshop.

Workshop is open to all levels. Musicians are invited to join us to explore the relationship between music and movement.

Dancing Around the World is a year long art project that encourages and engages local communities by cultivating interdisciplinary arts and community. The goal is to explore and make people become aware - both intimately and broadly, of the interaction of people, movement and the environment through dance for a year. Throughout this journey we want to understand what moves people, how people move and express themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually in diverse spaces, and to empower people by making them self aware of the impact their movement and body language has upon the social environment and themselves. They will be discovering community based artistic expression by coordinating motion, dance and the environment.

With Generous support from the German Embassy - Bogota.
