PRAXIS Trondheim is honored to host “Letting Go of Things” - a movement-based workshop led by Emilyn Claid, queer performance artist in her 8th decade during Multiplié Dansefestival 2025 on Wednesday 26.03.2025 kl 10-12 at DansiT, Svartlamon, Strandveien 33, Trondheim.

‘What do we need to let go of to enliven our practices, to dissolve static postures and crumble notions of normativity? How can we use uncertainty as a life force?
With somatic movement practice as a safe ground, this workshop considers how letting go - physical, metaphorical and psychological - informs living, being and relating, undoing Western obsessions with supremacy and individuality.
We will work relationally, with the environment and with each other, accepting messiness and failure as necessary for creative adventure.
You are welcome to bring an object that represents something you might like to let go of.
The workshop is open to people, across arts disciplines, who like to move and improvise, individually and in relation, and who are attentive to queer sensibilities.

Ideas and practices are inspired by Emilyn's book FALLING Through Dance and Life (Bloomsbury 2021).
