PRAXIS with Hwa Wei-An - The Art of Falling
Tuesday 21.04.2026 10 AM - 12 AM part of Multiplié dance festival at DansiT, Strandveien 33, Trd. 
Wednesdays 29.04 - 06.05.2026 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM at DansiT, Strandveien 33, Trd. 

About the classes: Ouch! That's what Wei-An used to say. Now he flops around on the ground while singing silly songs instead. 
The focus of these classes is to develop comfort moving into the floor and back up again. This will be done through simple improvisation exercises, and also through the sharing of techniques that begin simple but can be grown into complex and acrobatic forms. The first class will focus on helping participants familiarize themselves with the sensation of falling, and techniques to enter the floor. In the second class, these ideas will be put together into a movement sequence.

Who can join: The workshop is for a general audience, especially those interested in learning about falling. All the exercises can be tailored to participants' ability level. While the target group for the class is those with an existing movement practice and particularly those interested in acrobatic forms of dancing, all the exercises are adjustable for anyone to do at their own pace.

Bio: Wei-An's practice of The Art of Falling is part navigation of space-time curvature, part happy accident. Growing up fidgety, Wei-An fell down a lot, and eventually, he figured out that falling down was both fun and a good way to not get hurt.
Today, he continues to explore falling for the pleasure it provides: a momentary sense of weightlessness, the thrill and speed of giving in to gravity, and the discovery of possible ways out of a tricky situation. It is a practice of going along rather than fighting what's happening, of learning to trust skills honed by training, and keeping an eye out for the next fun ride out there.
