Past Workshop

End of the Year

A movement reflection on the past, present and future. In this time of transition do not forget to take your body with you. Listen to what it has to say. Move out what does not need space anymore and move into the yet unkown to get a glimpse of how it could feel.

About this workshop

Move out of 2025 and into 2026

We want to be in our bodies, move alone and together. Listen deeply and observe what the body has to say. A time to explode and let go some burden of the past, acknowledge the changes that have happened and be in tune with yourself.

I personally believe in reconnecting with myself to end and begin the year not somewhere else, but with me.

What concepts we use

Improvisation, Physical Theatre, Partnering, Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement Related Ideas.

Workshop Format

We want to stay in a continuous flow of movement that can alter the state of mind and open our perception for new ideas.

1. Arriving in the Space & Body

Movement and interaction tasks help us to create a grounded space and arrive in our bodies.‍

2. The Past, Present, Future

Listen to the movement qualities of different timings and observe what the body is saying.

3. Exploration & Experience

Explore these concepts, using posture, voice and movement. Notice what shows up most strongly for you and deepen into it solo and in partner exercises. Experiment with theatrical and interactive forms to encounter yourself from different perspectives.

  • Wishes and Desires
  • Endings
  • New Routes

In this process we will challenge our habitual patterns and move beyond the automatic reaction into more flexible possibilities.

4. Reflection & Integration

In certain moments we ask you to pause and observe. What has just happened? We use tools such as writing and small group exchanges.

Elkes classes open a place out of time. There is a connection to myself and something more than human (or maybe very human) that gives me a sense of belonging. Experiencing and accepting what is within me, surrounded by other bodies/creatures. Afterwards i feel fleshy/fluid/alive.

In Elkes classes you will laugh, be challenged and probably do some weird stuff. You will not only work on your body but also on your mind, trying to step out of your patterns and instead of chasing past experience be present in the moment. In the improvisation at the end you'll experience a unique group interaction where a state of true improvising, relating and connecting with others and yourself may arise.

Frequently Asked QUestions

(open all)
(close all)

I can't make it to the workshop anymore, what can I do?

Until two weeks in advance to the workshop you can cancel, and get 50% refund. After that no refund is possible. You can always join the next workshop that is happening if you can not attend. Please let me know via e-mail.

What should I wear?

Bring comfortable clothes that you can move in freely. We suggest nothing that is flowing around too much and can distract you when it's not sitting in place. My recommendation is to work barefoot and with long pants. Bring some water to cleanse your system after the session.
