Break & Jelly Workshop
Accesses to participatory work with movement, dance and choreography
20-21.4.2024 Intensive Spring Workshop in Berlin
“Two Birds” offer for all those who register with another person…
The focus of the spring workshop will be on working with a piece of music as a tool for participatory choreographic work for stage or film, and on the perception of the body in relation to form and space.

Access to movement, dance and choreography
Form and Artistic Freedom: How to balance structure and creative freedom when working with Movement, dance and Choreography?
Choreography and access: What is choreography and how can it be used in dance and theatre performances, music videos and other projects including those with amateurs, children and adolescents?
Participatory work and democratic processes: The workshop places special emphasis on participatory group processes.
The method was developed by the dancer, choreographer and dance pedagogue Lior Shneior, who is also the artistic director and founder of BERLIN MOVES.
As a teacher and choreographer, Shneior has analyzed and developed various methods, on the basis of which, together with the theater pedagogue Maike Plath, he developed the publication and card set “Das Methoden Repertoire Tanz und Bewegung” (The Method Repertoire of Dance and Movement), which was published by Beltz in 2017.
In addition, Shneior continues to develop his method and gives workshops and lectures in the field of dance education at numerous institutions in Germany and abroad.
His method and publication influences the work of many dance and theater educators and teachers, who use it as a valuable tool for creative movement work with young people.
In the card set, dance and choreographic knowledge is broken down into its individual elements, making it understandable even for amateurs. The individual cards can be combined in any way. Working with them is never fixed, but offers a starting point for a variety of different possible interpretations. Thus, very simple movement sequences as well as complex choreographies can be developed. This method of working is suitable for a wide variety of groups; children, young people and adults, amateurs and professionals, as well as mixed groups in which choreographies are developed together as a group process.
The workshop is aimed at dance educators, dancers as well as actors, theatre educators, choreographers, teachers and anyone who wants to work in a participatory and creative way with dance and choreography.
The focus is on effective teamwork in diverse groups with different abilities, styles, and interests. The method offers a way to create a structure for movement and choreography in dance and theatre work, as well as in educational projects, even without dance or choreographic “know-how”.
Previous knowledge is not necessary!
