BeingWith workshop:
Finding Feet
In line with BeingWith events, The100Hands invites you to Finding Feet on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
In this edition, Jasper takes you through the importance of the feet when moving, dancing and collaborating. After a thorough warm-up, physical games, concentration exercises, walking and balance challenges and being in motion with others always offer an opportunity to (re)discover your feet and everything that moves above them. In reflective moments we explore the symbolism and different meanings of themes such as 'standing on your own two feet', 'walking along' and 'to stand your ground'. During the workshop, attention is paid to a safe and respectful learning environment. Many exercises are designed so that you as a participant can choose the intensity yourself.
This workshop is for:
– anyone who likes to exercise (with others).
– (professional and amateur) dancers.
– contact improvisation practitioners.
– people who want to further develop their embodiment and body/mind connection.
– athletes who are looking for a different perspective on what they do.
Practical
From 12 years (up to 15 years with supervisor).
We basically work barefoot. Wear clothes that you can move easily in, but not too baggy. Also bring a bottle of water, a towel and possibly a fresh t-shirt.

Jasper is creator and co-artistic leader of The100Hands. As a dancer he was on stage for over 15 years and specialized in partnering, (physical and verbal) interaction and dancing on location.
As a teacher and coach, he is a regular guest at (higher professional education) dance courses in the Netherlands and Belgium. Jasper is also certified in Somatic Experience and SOMA Embodiment. These scientific, body-oriented (trauma) therapies enrich the lessons with awareness of personal processes and the knowledge that we all carry in our bodies. Jasper is a friendly and approachable teacher who likes to work with people to find the lessons of that moment.
This is the third workshop in line with Beingwith. This line of open events is for anyone interested in getting to work physically and getting to know our work 'from the inside' – within our studios and within your own body. The events are led by the core members of The100Hands, including Mojra Vogelnik-Škerlj, Jasper Dzuki Jelen, Jade van den Hout, Bryan Atmopawiro (more about them on the About page).
