Workshop 1
Regulatory Bodies | In Plain Sight by Giorgos Sioras Deligiannis
In Plain Sight is a workshop that invites anyone to reflect upon the human body and its nature through and beyond identities, to experience the presence of shifting bodyscapes and to explore the vastness of our blurry sensorial limits. Inspired by meditative practices of the gaze, Giorgos will introduce participants in slowness and reflection, while dealing and relating with nature and its patterns, shapes and textures. We shall explore a canvas of great compositional possibilities where the human body can be lost and found between a woody land, rocks and water. From candle gazing to creating dances of polymorphous moving flesh we shall play and question the nature of nature in order to see and be seen.

Workshop 2
IN REFLECTION/RESONANCE by Anna Konjetzky & Huby Sahra & Quindell Orton
In this workshop we invite you to dive into 5 thematic zones of research: awakening our senses, practicing collective care, decentralizing the body in a wider ecosystem, queering normativity, and rewriting/deconstructing patterns. These Ideas and topics will be explored and translated through movement, using the body as a source of knowledge, sharing and discovering together physicalities and practices for present and future. Each day we will propose different exercises and scores linked to each zone, but also explore with the participants how to develop their own practices, exercises and scores to embody the different zones. In that sense the workshop focuses on a self-exploration and creative process, as it proposes clear tasks and experiences to the participants, but also invites them to find their own approaches and translations of the zones in their bodies.

WHAT IS UNPLUGGED DANCE
A dance educational program in Lefkada Greece including original dance workshops with inspiring international educators and artists of contemporary dance and somatic practices. A living and practicing experience including dance workshops, accommodation and meals.
All Unplugged Dance workshops are open to everyone who wants to meet, share, dance and self-explore through movement and creative process. There is no need for previous experience in dance classes, although if there is one, it is welcome.
WHAT IS UNPLUGGED MAIN PROGRAM
In the Main Unplugged program we host every year new educators and artists from all over the world, through an open call process, in order to meet and highlight dance practices and methods that may exist around the world and approach dance as a practice of embodiment. We choose to emphasize on the importance of embodiment in dance education, research and choreography, in order to approach dance in a more open and inclusive way that can relate to self-determination, empowerment and expression. A dance -metaphorically and literally speaking- beyond the pursuit of a perfect form, that serves a liberating process of acceptance and joy.
