About event
* find English below
TUNING SCORES OBSERVATORY is part of the program of the workshop week. It is an open meeting for the public, during which the audience will have the opportunity to see the working process of the laboratory and watch how the principles of Tuning Scores take place in a live situation. Observatory is not a performance in the traditional sense of the word, but a sharing of the creative process – an opportunity to observe the creation of a composition in real time under the guidance of an American legend of postmodern dance. It will include a discussion with workshop participants and Lisa Nelson.
TUNING SCORES LABORATORY - composition, communication and sense of imagination / WORKSHOP
Tuning scores offer a multisensory approach to the questions: what do we "see" when we look at dance? What do we "see" from within the dance? Scores offer tools and practices of internal and external communication that make visible the ways in which each of us perceives and makes sense of movement and initiates a playful dialogue in action about space, time, movement and the desire to compose experiences. Tuning Scores is a living format that taps into the (un)ordinary self-awareness that enlivens our choices as beings and artists facing challenges together—with the tools to reshape the illusions of our shaky world together.

Times // 10:00 a.m. – 16:00 (one-hour lunch break)

TUNING SCORES LABORATORY – composition, communication, & the sense of imagination / WORKSHOP
Tuning scores offer a multi-sensorial approach to the questions: what do we “see” when we’re looking at dance? what do we "see" from within the dance? The scores offer inner and outer communication tools and practices that make apparent the ways each of us sense and make sense of movement, initiating a playful dialogue-in-action about space, time, movement, and the desire to compose experience. Tuning Scores are a living format that touches the (extra)ordinary self-knowledge that animates our choices as beings and artists facing challenges together—with tools to collectively re-imagine the illusions of our wobbly world.
Dates // 3rd – 9th August 2026 (7 days, 1 day outside of the studio; August 8th public presentation)
Time // 10am – 4pm (1 hour lunch break)
Place&Space // Community Center Žižkostel, Prague
Workshop, Observatory and discussion are led in English.
