WhyNot Workshops
WhyNot x ADE: OFF VENUE programme
As a part of OFF VENUE, WhyNot organizes dance and movement workshops. This time, we have two workshops for you: a sensual body awareness workshop by OFF VENUE artist Sofie Kramer in Dance Space Destiny for all levels, and a workshop for professionals by Elisa Zuppini in Frascati about her fascinating movement practice. Check all details below!
When: 17 October | 20:00-21:15
Where: Dance Space Destiny, Rhoneweg 10, Amsterdam
Tickets: €10 via Frascati
Language: Dutch/English
Level: Open for everyone who is interested in exploring their body and movement. Please wear something comfortable (dancing is without shoes), and bring a water bottle or towel if you’d like.
In this workshop, physical performer and pole dancer Sofie Kramer will take you on a journey to connect to your sensual side and sink deeper into your body. She combines her practice as a pole dancer with movement techniques based on meditation and Taoism, creating a sense of bodily awareness that is about letting go and acceptance rather than living up to societal expectations around sensuality. In this workshop, it is not about being sexy. This workshop takes the word "erotics" to a more spiritual level, where surrendering to and deeply focusing on the senses provokes an honest sensuality, liberating not only muscles and joints but certainly the mind too!
Sofie will be performing herself during OFF VENUE. Read more here.
When: 22 October | 10:00 - 12:30
Where: Theater Frascati, Amsterdam
Tickets: €15 via Frascati
Language: English
Level: Professional dancers and people trained in movement. Please wear something comfortable (dancing is without shoes), and bring a water bottle or towel if you’d like.
In this workshop, participants will be invited into the atmospheres of the night, post-clubbing states, and altered modes of presence, where anonymity, depersonalized embodiment, and heightened sensory awareness open emergent ways of perceiving relation and presence in movement. Drawing from Elisa Zuppini’s ensemble work Disambiguation—which premiered at Frascati Theater in May 2025 with fifteen dancers, coproduced by WhyNot—participants will be introduced to the principles of her movement practice of decentralized relational systems, imagining the body as a sensitive entity with redistributed control across multiple, movable centers. After learning selected sequences from the choreography, they will be invited to re-compose and adapt the material through guided improvisations with the musical score of the piece. Together, participants will inhabit liminal and transitional spaces, where ambiguity becomes a generative force shaping tangible states of movement and collective presence.
