Day 5 (Friday, 16th July)
Eila Goldhahn "What means 'Authenticity' in Movement?"
9:30 am - 1:30 pm Workshop "We all want to be seen as we are. We all want to be what we truly are."
These thoughts are often shared by movers and witnesses. On the ultimate day of this
conference I will offer a MoverWitness Exchange (MWE) to consider participants'
varied notions of authenticity and what it means to expect ourselves and others to be "authentic". Can we really separate what is and what is not "authentic"? How may we
pass judgement on ourselves and others in our longing for authenticity? Is authenticity
possibly an illusion or a hindrance on the path to being present and free?
-------------Lunch Break------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:30 pm - 8:30 pm Presentation/ Workshop / Discussion: Continuation with the morning's topic in practice
as well as in discussions and viewing of Dance Films by E.Goldhahn.
From 9:00 pm onwards PARTY TIME with local artists and surprises

All tuition will be held in English language. If necessary, at times Martina will translate English into German or Spanish for the conference group for a better mutual understanding. A good basic level of English language skills though is required of all workshop participants, who are not native speakers.
