This workshop disrupts conventions to examine communication patterns related to gender identity and expression. Indeed, in parsing out fragments and experimenting with connections, Kevin Fay shares embodied techniques and strategies to look at how language feels.

Specifically, the workshop shares dance and writing practices that stimulate energy in and between bodies by focusing on how movement and poetry nourish supple, mobile attention and sturdy, tender support. What’s more, by exploring the gaze, pranayama, contact, Authentic Movement, and improvisational scores, this time in the studio proposes sensitive, sensuous ways to read bodies.

In a celebration of bold sensitivity, tenacious focus, and fleshy, full-bodied joy, this workshop gathers bodies to explore what’s in us, between us, and what power comes from us.

Kevin Fay holds a B.A. in Dance & Communication Studies from Northwestern University and is a freelance contemporary dance artist based in Brussels, Belgium. He has collaborated on projects with Veli Lehtovaara, Éric Minh Cuong Castaing, Eleanor Bauer, Marc Vanrunxt, Fabrice Samyn, and Olga de Soto. He also contributes to grassroots activist work with State of the Arts. With residency support and a research scholarship from The Flemish Authorities, Kevin has an ongoing research project that interrogates masculinity from queer, feminist perspectives. In this, he organises open, performative reading circles called conversing with masculinity and develops choreography. He has taught professionally in both the US and Europe, and his teaching of ballet is influenced most strongly by Janet Panetta and Zvi Gotheiner.

Dieser Workshop hinterfragt konventionelle Kommunikationsmuster im Zusammenhang mit Geschlechteridentität und -ausdruck. Kevin Fay teilt verkörperte Techniken und Strategien, um gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmer*innen zu erforschen, wie sich Sprache anfühlt.

Zwischen Bewegung und Poesie vermittelt der Workshop insbesondere Tanz- und Schreibpraktiken, die die Energie in und zwischen den Körpern stimulieren. Mittels Blicken, Pranayama, Kontakt, Authentic Movement und improvisierter Partituren bietet der Workshop zudem sensible, sinnliche Wege, um Körper zu lesen. Es geht darum, herauszufinden, was in unseren Körpern ist, was zwischen uns ist und, welche Kraft von uns ausgeht.

Kevin Fay hat einen Bachelor in Tanz- und Kommunikationswissenschaften von der Northwestern University und lebt als freischaffender Tänzer in Brüssel. Er wirkte an Projekten von Veli Lehtovaara, Éric Minh Cuong Castaing, Eleanor Bauer, Marc Vanrunxt, Fabrice Samyn und Olga de Soto mit. Außerdem leistet er einen Beitrag zur aktivistischen Basisarbeit im Rahmen von State of the Arts. Dank eines Residency-Supports und eines Forschungsstipendiums der flämischen Behörden organisiert Fay unter dem Titel conversing with masculinity performative Lesekreise und entwickelt Choreografien, in denen er Männlichkeit aus einer queeren, feministischen Perspektive hinterfragt. Er arbeitete in den USA und Europa als Ballettlehrer, wobei sein Unterricht besonders von Janet Panetta und Zvi Gotheiner beeinflusst ist.
