Boxing, weighing yourself, dreaming, praying, celebrating: what are our daily routines? These activities that sometimes unconsciously define our relationship with the world. Since September 2016, choreographer Lenio Kaklea and a team of writers and researchers have been meeting with residents of several European cities, collecting their routines. They have assembled nearly 600 stories revealing the diversity of habits, rituals and professions that shape these communities. For this workshop, Nanyadji Ka-Gara will share this work process with the participants, revealing the wealth of gestures involved in this harvest.
