Description
Weltreise - Queer Images
with Jorge De Hoyos
This movement class deals with portals, (other)worldly dimensions, and training our capacities to deep dive into our “selves” (real and imagined), teleport into not-yet-known states of being, and adapt like sci-fi ninja-dancer pioneers! No dance experience is necessary, but a willingness to get out of comfort zones and into the unknowable (meta)physical is required. There will be body contact, emotional and energetic states, and lots of moving in ways you can’t really preconceive. It’s inspired by an old project called “Many Lives” which is like living life but many of them at once. All bodies and lives are welcome!
Jorge De Hoyos is a contemporary dancer, performer and choreographer from Southern California, based in Berlin since 2012. He recently completed a Masters study called Solo/Dance/Authorship through the University of Art Berlin. He’s currently retaking a Permaculture Design Certification course after the one he did in San Francisco 10 years ago. He started training Kung Fu and Tai Chi at the end of 2020 and it’s revolutionizing his approach to dancing and grounding.

In these monthly sessions, you are invited to express yourself by making visual art. The focus is on process, not outcomes. We aim to open a channel to our personal creativity, while forging deeper connections with our inner selves and to each other. No special skills or “talent” is required, only the willingness to actively engage with a sense of curiosity.
