“C’est une révolte? – Non, Sire, c’est une révolution!” – La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt
Uprisings are a recurring feature of human history – an expression of resistance, the will to change, and collective action. From the secessio plebis in Ancient Rome to the French Revolution and the forms of protest in the Civil Rights Movement or on the Maidan: it has always been bodies in space that made political and social dynamics visible. Whether peaceful, politically forceful, or violent – every form of rebellion gives rise to its own physical language.
This workshop explores precisely this physical dimension of protest and uprising. It begins with visual imagery from social media, which serves as a catalyst for examining, transforming, and distilling movements into dance. The focus is not only on the outward form of protest but also on what drives it: emotions, tensions, and collective energy.
Through this dance class, participants explore different roles within uprisings – from demonstrators and those affected to mediating authorities – and engage with the underlying, danced dynamics. What postures emerge in moments of resistance? What do they reveal about strength, vulnerability, or ambivalence?
