BREAKING WORKSHOP
with Yohannes Henriksson & Studio BlueBreaks
14th April, 19:00 – 21:00
Yohannes is a dancer and photographer.
This workshop brings together visual artists: photographers, painters, and drawing artists, with breakers at Studio Blue Breaks, to explore what happens when movement meets interpretation.
Rather than documenting dance in a literal sense, this workshop explores how movement feels. The goal is to slow down, loosen your grip on “getting the shot,” and ask a different question: what does this movement do to you?
During the session, you’ll experiment with things like blur, frozen moments, isolated body parts, layering, not as techniques to nail, but as different ways of translating what you’re experiencing.
We’ll begin by just watching. From there, we’ll move into shooting rounds with simple prompts that guide your attention toward intensity, stillness, detail, or abstraction.
At its core, the workshop is about exchange. Not artists on one side, dancers on the other, but a shared process where movement gets taken apart and put back together in unexpected ways. At the end, the artists will share their images with the breakers, so they get to see themselves through your eyes.
It’s less about getting perfect images, but more about what movement or dance becomes when it passes through different eyes.
