Workshop: Microcosms of Beetles
The workshop Microcosms of Beetles explores the fascinating world of these tiny creatures – their movement, symbiosis, and transformations through life cycles. Participants will delve into themes such as invisibility, speed, and circular ecosystems through dance and movement-based exercises, emphasizing collaboration and adaptability in nature. The workshop combines movement and imagination, drawing from individual bodily experiences to uncover parallels between the microcosm and our perception of the world.
