DAY 4 — 6 AUGUST 2026

DOCUMENTED WORKSHOP PROTOCOL

STEPPING SEQUENCE

Stand in a circle. Firmly step with right leg, then left; add hands; turn the head.

PASSING THE CLAP

Find eye contact and pass a clap. Later several claps circulate. Introduce imaginary objects: balls, sacks, feathers and other objects. Underlying work remains relaxation and presence.

BLANK POSITION / NUMBERS

Stand in blank position and speak numbers. Aim: find genuine truth in the voice.

BOXING RETURNS

Repeat boxing as a tool for release, freedom, breath and impulse.

HALF SQUAT / VOICE

Stand in half squat with hands in front. Hum vowels and find relaxation.

“Oh, my God!”
“I love you.”
“I hate you.”
“Leave me, now!”
“Fuck you!”
“Yes!”
“No!”
gibberish.

PRESENCE IN THE MOUTH

Be present with the creation taking place in the mouth. The performer needs to “buy it” — genuinely inhabit / believe the immediate vocal creation.

TEXT THROUGH TASTING

Work with personal texts. Task: taste the text.

BLINDFOLDED PAIRS

One performer is blindfolded; the other guides and safeguards. If the blindfolded performer reaches freedom, the guide may leave them in place while remaining responsible for care and safety.

The blindfolded performer moves, tastes each movement, begins text and may use gibberish. Aim: tasting and freedom. Then reverse roles.

KEYWORDS

Relaxation; Voice; Tasting; Text.
