My Many Bodies: Workshop with Israel Aloni

Aloni’s practice, The I.Aloni Experience, argues that we do not have a body, but rather an experience of body. Erin Manning talks about bodying, referring to how a body is always in process, always becoming. The concept of double consciousness; experiencing a multiplicity, has been addressed by thinkers and philosophers such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Frantz Fanon. In psychoanalysis, Lacan argued that a split always precedes subject formation and, in some sense, that very split is the experience of subjectivity.

In this workshop, we will explore movement and dancing with attentiveness to both multiplicity (bodies) and the ongoingness of the process of embodiment (bodying). What movement and dancing can emerge when explored with multiple bodies? How can the multiplicity of the ‘individual’ body interact with that of the collective body? How do the experience of bodying and that of movement stimulate one another?

Workshop framework
The workshop will commence with a movement session; a guided improvisation, in which concepts and movement exploration will be introduced to prepare and create a shared pool of references for the remainder of the workshop. We will then proceed to work on movement and choreographic tasks, organically embarking on a collective process of knowledge transfer and sharing.

Who is this for? 
The workshop is suitable for people with an interest and experience in movement, dancing, and the choreographic. People of all ages (18+), genders, backgrounds, and movement or dance practices are encouraged to participate. If you have any questions about suitability, please contact us.

Agency of participants 
While Aloni will facilitate the workshop and offer elements from their practice to support the process, participants are encouraged to explore the particular elements relevant and significant to their own interests in movement, dancing, and the choreographic. Each participant will be able to choose the intensity and complexity with which they work.

The workshop will take place on Thursday, 15 October 2026 at 18:00 - 21:00 (3 hours) at CCAP (Körsbärsvägen 9 nb, 114 23 Stockholm).
