Every joint of our body has its range of movement, there are countless possible combinations. The body contains a great practical knowledge far beyond what the mind is capable of processing, resulting in an ever-changing, fluid sense of orientation that can serve as a sensor for potential movement. Through (group) improvisation with one or more partners, exchanging information through touch, we will take advantage of this phenomenon to create forms, rhythms, movement qualities more sophisticated than our minds could invent.

After training in Rotterdam, Swiss-born Thomas Hauert moved to Belgium where he began his career dancing with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. He founded ZOO in Brussels in 1997, since garnering an international reputation for highly inventive choreographic work grounded in improvisation-based processes. As noted by journalist Rosita Boisseau, His proliferative inventiveness does more than just exercise the imagination: it uncovers a new movement vocabulary, upsets the syntax, refines unpublished grammar rules in order to achieve singularly vivid language.? In addition to being an award-winning choreographer, he is an internationally recognized teacher, conducting workshops around the world, including an ongoing collaboration with P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. www.zoo-thomashauert.be
