“I’m confused. Thus, I’m going to make a confused dance.”
– Francesco D’Amelio
In a parallel universe to the well-known fairy tale, two dancers explore the repertoire of sibling gestures – from the repetition of familiar routines to utopian departures. The future is clear: fragmented dances and the same facial expressions over and over again. Tick. Tack. Ticket bag. We need to look at things from a different perspective. Going sideways helps.

Our daily life is full of seemingly insignificant moments, merging one into another. We stumble over them without noticing them. But what surprises do they contain? What can we discover, when we stretch, extend, and inflate time? With One moment, please, Caroline Simon invites everyone aged 3+ to dive into a world full of fantasy, poetry and humor, where everything is possible, and nothing is obligatory. Every performance is different, just like every moment…

The workshop focuses on “instant composition”, a game with decisions, letting go, trust, perception …. and, above all, having fun with your own movement!
We will explore various tools, methods and strategies to create our own dance in real time.
How can we perceive, play with and compose unexpected and surprising possibilities by “not planning”?
For everyone with and without prior dance experience.
