LEYLA POSTALCIOGLU
"CREATIVE DANCE WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN"

2-3 June 2018 Mardin Museum

Dancer and choreographer Leyla Postalcioglu, one of the biennial artists, is participating in the biennial with a dance workshop.

Organised separately for 8-12 years old and over 12 years old groups, the workshop creates a space where children can express themselves through the language of movement by dancing, thinking, sharing and having fun, through physical practices and improvisations. While pursuing the unspeakable, dance concepts such as space, time, force, body, movement and form are experienced under the guidance of imagination and instincts. The workshop is put forward as a participatory proposal on the phenomenon of "performance", which is the focus of the "Body Language" section, as a series of questions on how art can relate to people and the wider social environment rather than a medium or a work of art.
