  • Deforesting the body: Stepping in Situ at Acosta Dance Centre

    Sunday 18th October 2026

    11:00AM-16:00PM

    £49.50

    In this Stepping in Situ workshop, participants will engage in a series of improvisational movement and text-based scores that cultivate awareness of their relationships to ancestry and ancestral memory, and how these continue to shape their current existence and artistic practices. Throughout the day, we will explore Matthys’ research through object improvisation and choreographic play, while also uncovering individual and collective stories of reacquainting with and reconfiguring these relationships, towards our ancestral reserve of knowledge.
