In this state of being, which precedes any act, the person is able to see more clearly the various acts that they clothe themselves with in daily life. If theatre is the place where we see; it is important that the person treading the stage is him\/herself aware of what s\/he presents to be seen.<br \/>\nWe will be engaging with physical practices stemming from various traditions that we in Iraqi Bodies have collected and amalgamated into our own practice over the past decade. We will attempt to poke at the blocks we carry which hinder us from fully diving into the depths of our own abyss. Those blocks might have arrived from years of previous training or simply by the judgments we make each day about ourselves and others. Approaching our being as one we will explore all its facets including movement, breath, and voice. Although the workshop will be conducted in English the texts, we will be working with will be adapted to the various spoken languages present in the group. Upon acceptance to the workshop, you will be sent a few short texts to familiarise yourself with in preparation for the workshop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Level:<\/strong> All<br \/>\n<strong>Ages:<\/strong> 16+<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<!-- START THEATRON REVOLUTION SLIDER 6.7.25 --><p class=\"rs-p-wp-fix\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t<rs-module-wrap id=\"rev_slider_76_1_wrapper\" data-source=\"gallery\" style=\"visibility:hidden;background:transparent;padding:0;margin:0px auto;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;max-width:750px;\">\n\t\t\t\t<rs-module id=\"rev_slider_76_1\" style=\"\" data-version=\"6.7.25\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<rs-slides style=\"overflow: hidden; position: absolute;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<rs-slide style=\"position: absolute;\" data-key=\"rs-367\" data-title=\"Slide\" data-anim=\"adpr:false;\" data-in=\"o:0;\" data-out=\"a:false;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/akropoditi.com\/dancefest\/wp-content\/plugins\/revslider\/sr6\/assets\/assets\/dummy.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"IB_1\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" class=\"rev-slidebg tp-rs-img rs-lazyload\" data-lazyload=\"\/\/akropoditi.com\/dancefest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IB_1.jpg\" data-no-retina>\n<!---->\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slides>\n\t\t\t\t<\/rs-module>\n\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\tsetREVStartSize({c: 'rev_slider_76_1',rl:[1240,1024,778,480],el:[600,768,960,720],gw:[1240,1024,778,480],gh:[600,768,960,720],type:'standard',justify:'',layout:'fullwidth',mh:\"0\"});if (window.RS_MODULES!==undefined && window.RS_MODULES.modules!==undefined && window.RS_MODULES.modules[\"revslider761\"]!==undefined) {window.RS_MODULES.modules[\"revslider761\"].once = false;window.revapi76 = undefined;if (window.RS_MODULES.checkMinimal!==undefined) window.RS_MODULES.checkMinimal()}\n\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t<\/rs-module-wrap>\n\t\t\t<!-- END REVOLUTION SLIDER -->\n\n<p>Photo credit:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iraqi Bodies<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The work of Iraqi Bodies explores the link between movement and gesture, between dance and theatre.
