Improvisation workshop

Recommended age: For everyone from 15 and up.

Note! Pre-registration is required.

This workshop is inspired by Maria Hassabi’s artwork in the PUBLIC MOVEMENT exhibition and we will take improvised movements based on stillness and slowmotion into the public and different places at the museum. Then we go out from the museum into the city and do the same thing. We try to come out from our comfort zone and let our movements get affected by people, sound, light etc. It will last for about 3 hours. Limited number of places, first come first served. You can sign up for this workshop by sending an email to workshop leader Atoosa Farahmand, a.farahmand@modernamuseet.se.
