Playing Dead

with Anna Natt and Jens Dube

In this workshop, we will explore the practice of "playing dead" by experimenting with being moved and moving other bodies.

Playing dead can evoke a wide range of emotions that may be difficult to access otherwise, from mourning and sadness to arousal and romance. For some, it offers an opportunity to experience passivity, vulnerability or for gentle objectification.

Through guided practical exercises, we will learn how to play dead, move a body and be moved by others. Participants will then have the chance to create a scene, applying the techniques and concepts discussed.
