(This is the first from a series of workshops.)
Social Body Lab is Organized by Erratica as a gesture of solidarity with Lebanon. All proceeds
go to Hunna Arts & Culture Center a community space in Okaibeh which is once again transforming into a shelter and local support hub for displaced families.
This series of workshops is an invitation for local dancers and multidisciplinary artists from
Lebanon and across the Arab world and everyone who feels concerned, to come together. This
event is created in response to the overwhelming political realities the region is currently facing.
The focus of this gathering is to work with and through the physical body — using rhythms of
movement and our voices to collectively create a shared social body memory.
Erratica Collective will host the event, featuring rotating teachers who will each lead a workshop
and assist with organizing the overall program. The workshops series will be spaces for somatic
observation, Shiatsu, improvisation, phrasing, and reflection, treating practice as a sensor for
socio-political realities. Emotional, muscular and skeletal states such as anger, fragility or
intensity will be explored not as themes but as bodily activations responding to social and
political conditions.
Who we are? Erratica is a nomadic laboratory of dancers and multidisciplinary artists, originally
founded in the Cilento region of Italy. What began as a site-rooted artistic experiment has since
unfolded across Europe and, more recently, in Lebanon. It brings together shared practices by David Kummer, DISCOllective, Mathilde Vrignaud, Maja Laplajne, Elena Dragonetti and Chada Halwani.
In 2024, it organised the Reverb Festival in Albanella (Italy), gathering artists, researchers and local communities. In 2025, it takes place in Italy and Berlin, focusing on cooperation, shared research and situated practices shaping Erratica as an evolving international network.
