Groove Your Labour: Eman Hussein
The workshop series is led by Eman Hussein (with guest contributions) | Eman Hussein and Chris Leuenberger
Groove Your Labour is an open workshop inviting participants to explore the rhythms and movements of their everyday working life – no dance experience is required.
The workshop is open to everyone and is aimed at people who want to connect their everyday life with movement and groove through the body. It begins with a physical warm-up that activates the body and builds a shared energy. This is followed by an exploration of how everyday gestures can be translated into movement. Through repetition, rhythm and breath, a shared groove emerges, rooted in lived experience. The workshop also includes an exchange with workers, creating a dialogue between different bodies, professions and experiences, in which work is felt, shared and transformed into movement.
The workshop is connected to the dance project Undeclared Work (premiere in December 2026), developed by Eman Hussein in collaboration with dancers Domenico Doronzo and Kalil Bat, musician Marquis McGee, dramaturg Nedjma Hadj Benchelabi and set designer Malin Speicher.
