Price: 70€ (material included)

The Macrame-Motion workshop is based on the objects of the SENSING VOLUMES installation. Individuals of every experience level will get an introduction to the world of ropes, and how they can be used in connection to the human body. By learning an easy macrame technique, all participants will create their own, multi-purpose piece, which they can take home and continue using after the workshop. The piece can be hung from the ceiling, hooked onto some home furniture or simply used on one’s body parts, without any further props.

In the motion-part of the workshop, participants will learn some of the possibilities of the rope piece they’ve created. With improvisational techniques we will research movement, stretches and strength exercises which can be done with the piece.

The aim is to create an artistic home-decoration, to open up possibilities of movement explorations or simply to have an easy morning-stretch routine at home, participants will find their personal take-out of the workshop.
