WITCH PRACTICE

 

DANCE FOR ADULTS, DEICHMANSKE BIBLIOTEK, 2016 

PRAXIS OSLO, 2016

Witch practice is a physical exploration of witches based on a vision to increase faith and trust in them. The practice consists of various exercises in three levels; beginner, intermediate and advanced. For example, as a beginner you learn to stand with a cloak, as an intermediate to walk with a cloak, and as an advanced to run with it. The practice includes exercises such as extinguishing bonfires, the cauldron effect, witch howls, witch laughter, witch shots, various forms of magic and sorcery exercises as well as various rituals with and without whiskey.

Witch practice balances between workshop, artist sharing and performance, where everyone in the room is both performers and audience.
