Workshop von Shanti Vera

The empty body is a laboratory of thought in action that places desire as a possibility for movement in sensitive relation to space, gravity, and falling. During eighteen years, this has been Shantí Vera’s main space for choreographic creation. He teaches it continuously in different contexts: festivals, art centers, and universities in Europe and Latin America.
