Workshop with Israel Aloni
Israel Aloni, Artistic Director of ilDance, is offering a practice sharing workshop in Stockholm on Wednesday, 11 February 2026 at 18:00 - 21:00 at MDT - Moderna Dansteatern (through their collaboration with Danscentrum Stockholm).
In this workshop Aloni will share elements from their practice, The I.Aloni Experience, and particularly concepts presented in their latest book MILON QUIS - words for dance, attending to the relationships between the subjective experience of dancing and both the imprint and impressions made “in the world” with the dancing.
Content of the Workshop
The workshop will start with a guided improvisation session, specifically addressing various layers of consciousness and dynamics between what the dancer perceives as their body and what they perceive as not their body. Then Aloni will present a couple of specifically chosen concepts from MILON QUIS and process them through dancing, reading, writing, witnessing, reflecting and collective “open space” sessions (a type of self organising and non-hierarchical methodology for reciprocal exchange and information transmission amongst all the people presented in the room). These concepts will both be incorporated in the individual experience of each participant and also gain a singular meaning through the particularities of the live context, informed by all the people present in the space-time together.

About Israel Aloni
Artist, Researcher, Artistic Director & Co-Founder of ilDance Israel Aloni is an independent choreographer, pedagog, performer, writer and provocateur.
Aloni has been developing their movement research practice - The I.Aloni Experience, which also forms the foundation of their teaching practice. There are two continuous engines in this practice: the immensely charged field between the performer and the witness-spectator; and the agency of the dance-performer in the process of making-performing.
Aloni resonates with the account of Gilles Deleuze which suggests that an idea informs the medium. When an idea appears, it already informs in what medium it wants to be explored and expressed. Therefore, Aloni continues to experiment with different formats and contexts for both making and presenting their work, this includes: Boys Just Want To Have Fun is a durational piece (6-8 hours in gallery/museum spaces); Within the European Cooperation project Dancing History(y)ies Aloni developed site specific works for archeological and heritage sites across Europe; In 2025 they made PASSING (commissioned by Toplocentrala in Sofia, Bulgaria) which is a black box performance where the witnesses-spectators are sat in the round.
Aloni investigates concepts across disciplines, namely philosophy and psychology, often reflecting on themes of ontology, gender and nonconformity. Alongside their choreographic work, they publish texts in different formats including MILON QUIS - words for dance (published by CIRCADIAN, 2025) PUSH: It Will Come Later (published by CIRCADIAN, co-editor & co-author, 2021) On Art and Activism (article published by Howlround, 2020) and What Do You Mean When You Say Gender? (article published by IETM, 2016).
