SUMMARY:Navigating the Social Crisis through Critical Theory
DESCRIPTION:Critical Theory Workshop \nCritical theory is characterized by its twofold approach towards the social reality: critical and emancipatory. It explains the often unseen or overlooked roots of social problems\, connects seemingly isolated social phenomena and uncovers sources of hope\, freedom\, and resistance in the ruptures of the nearly all-encompassing suppressive and distorting social system. In various forms and constellations\, those two motivations of critical reflection and reconstruction of emancipatory potential appear across the theories and conceptions\, from Theodor W. Adorno\, Max Horkheimer\, Herbert Marcuse\, across Jürgen Habermas\, Axel Honneth\, and Rahel Jaeggi to Nancy Fraser\, Robin Celikates\, or Eva von Redecker\, to name just a few. In the current social situation\, characterized by the dismissal of the environmental crisis\, the increasingly accepted outbreak of global military conflicts\, together with the growing resignation and indifference to the sufferings of humans and non-humans alike\, the approach of critical theory is highly relevant. Many people and social groups find themselves on the periphery: geographical\, or social\, on the periphery of recognition\, power\, or social participation. The inequality leads to the rise of intolerance amongst different social groups\, as well as the rise of far-right and populist political movements. Even in the grim social situation\, we need to reformulate the possibilities and limitations of critical reflection and to articulate the need for emancipation from a new\, darker\, and peripheral perspective. \nThe aim of this workshop is to explore the challenges and options of critical reflection in the current social situation and to ask whether we can think of feasible ways of imagining and describing new emancipatory potential. We invite papers from across the various approaches of critical theory\, discussing the historical\, conceptual\, practical\, political\, ethical\, and aesthetic views on the problems of social criticism and/or social emancipation.

SUMMARY:Roots of Contact Improvisation - with available collective
DESCRIPTION:💫Description: \nRoots of contact improvisation is a dance course for those who want to practice the basics this dance form\, enrich their physical skills and learn the context of the practice. \nWe will provide technical exercises from ground to standing level\, training ways of falling and rising to flying… We’ll combine somatic as well as acrobatic approaches. Also\, we will study the context of the practice (offering readings\, videos and other documentation). \n“Contact Improvisation is an evolving system of movement initiated in 1972 by American choreographer Steve Paxton. The improvised dance form is based on the communication between two moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion—gravity\, momentum\, inertia. The body\, in order to open to these sensations\, learns to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement. Practice includes rolling\, falling\, being upside down\, following a physical point of contact\, supporting and giving weight to a partner.” – contactquarterly.com \n– Who is it for?: everyone interested.\nThe course is for a closed group of maximum 14 participants. \n– Language: English  \n– Facilitators: Eva Mora\, Tomáš Wortner & available collective (Janka Hríbiková\, Katarzyna Elperyn\, Aneta Bočková) \n– What to bring:\nRecommended to bring some water\, comfortable clothes and a notebook (something where to write your notes).
