Workshop Series - Recruiting proposal
We are Zihao and Dor, a Royal College of Art graduates duo who research and design interactive experiences at the intersection of dance, technology and cognitive science. We are writing to you regarding our workshop ‘Psychedelic Invasion: Collective Improvisation Jam’ that we have been perfecting under the roof of the RCA for the past year.
Our workshop is a movement-based experience offered in 90 minutes-long sessions. The workshop consists of various dance and mindfulness drills as well as mind-bending guided experiments (safe and natural ). The workshop is accompanied by a curated music playlist that helps the participants to commit to the process, surrender their bodies, and more than anything - surprise themselves! Having a collaborative, spontaneous and expressive nature, the workshop does not require any previous knowledge and is fully adjustable for people with disabilities. We have run multiple successful workshops in the past offering the participants to experience their bodies in a new way, by examining their nonverbal communication skills and expanding their consciousness with breathwork and sensory deprivation. We have observed our workshop-goers making a transformative journey from shy, disconnected from their bodies, concealed individuals to dancers, confidently expressing their minds through movement exchange with others.
