Exit map community dance improvisation lewisham. Dance workshops social dance classes London. Community events Lewisham. Dance sound collaboration. Audio guides. Contact improvisation. Dance performance and research. Shared Practice at the Green Nunhead. Non profit, director Doehler Soubry Thiriot For people to join us moving outdoors in natural environments, we created a group called Openly Spaced Out that is accessible via WhatsApp. It is a meetup that takes place every Sunday around Lewisham. Anyone on the group can say when they go to the park and others then can join. The score is: Come, move as you like and share what is going on for you if you want. In not being alone we give permission to do things in our own quirky and untested ways. Move as you like: is a format where actions or 'undoing' come from listening to what it is we need by giving our bodies free range of movement. That may turn into exercises, silly jumps, shakes or dances but it might also be lying in the grass, throwing back a ball to a child or perceiving tiny shifts of weight on an uneven grassy ground. Say what is n your mind: Being in the park, we tend to socialise. It is a space to speak your mind but also to listen. You choose how much you want to engage verbally or physically. We give space to do both and enjoy the transitions from one to the other and testing our social contracts. You might find that these open new ways of being together. We also offer audio guides that you can bring to the park via your phone or an audio device and headphones. These were created by dance artists who work somatically and can fine tune our connectivity to ourselves and to nature, through spoken word guidance. These are available via our archive of Moving On which is the umbrella under which these were created. There are even more audios via our Spotify link which has a subscription fee attached but you can subscribe for one month only if you like to enjoy a wider range of audios and artists for a period of time. Openly Spaced Out was created during Covid to give people the chance to still relate. Back then we spaced it out and asked for conversations to be suspended but by getting out and move to not feel isolated as you could see others doing the same. The origins of this format however were even further back in time. Our initiative Free to Move penetrated urban spaces like Granary square (above) to dance outside to impress the need for space and common ground to move freely.

People encountering and joining Moving On Resonance Moving On serves to reconnect body to nature. Via a radio sound installation or via headphones, you can listen to somatic audio guides that were conceived by dance and sound artists to inspire ways of being with the more-than-human. Moving On is created by a community of artists for a community of people to breathe deeply and move freely with our surroundings and become part of a wider ecosystem where dances emerge as a state of aliveness and connectivity.

A mix between headphone guides and radio installation, this event revisits audios that deal with the non-linear and slow nature of animate matter; features that unite people with each other and the more-than-human. Moving On Sensing Skin Mountsfield Park, London 03 & 10 July 2022Meanwodd Valley Urban City Farm, Leeds Artists: Alice Labant, Vanessa Grasse, Vanio Papadelli and Evert Taihuttu Moving On Sensing Skin is an immersive experience that allows you to connect to nature via movement as they facilitate intricate tunings via our skin receptors, images and embodied connections. Together they open up pathways, that like windows, allow the light to filter through and gently mobilise you; inspiring summery dances and a deeply felt sense of togetherness. Moving On Rsonance creates a landscape of words and sounds that accompanies you as you wander, rest and experience how your body and relationship to the world changes by a deepened sense of presence to the space. It is a collective and communal event as we find ourselves sharing this experience. The sound magical rests in the canopy of trees and gently rises from the ground. Artists: Simon Roth, Sara Ruddock, Tania Soubry and Amy Voris A secluded area of woodland in South London set on the broad slopes of a deep railway cutting offers an immersive ambience of sounds and words to reconnect to nature for a renewed sense of navigating life through our senses and environment. In collaboration with the London Wildlife Trust. Artist: Laura Doehler, Anne-Gaelle Thiriot and Marina Collard Past headphone events This trailer we made with people from our community when we were still working with headphones. Giving voice and visibility to each experience it shows how the feeling of connection of body to land and how movement created a new alternative and way forward. "Moving On is a dance meet-up in the park. You are accompanied by professional dancers guiding you through a movement score. Rather than being the usual jumpy and poppy workout, Moving On is a meditative, introspective and vulnerable process. Wether you are deep into contemporary dance or not, it will be a novel experience of discoveries." Florent Venet, participant of many Moving On projects during lockdown Since September 2020 we installed a regular outdoor movement practice with Moving On for dancers and non dancers alike. These are our past projects Moving On Remembering is a spacious audio by Laura Doehler that invites you to connect to body and space as a reminder of the very basics that we need to look after and connect to. It is an audio that acknowledges the transient nature, how all will go and new things come, where presence, the here and now, shouldn't be forgotten but celebrated.

Towards a Regenerative Culture, Together We Are Towards a Regenerative Culture, Together We Are, took place 29.02.2020, a couple of weeks before Covid changed everything. Our Exit Map artists who regularly come together via the Shared Practice, proposed new ways to meet movement and dance, adding a taste of political activism to further a social and environmental integration for our local community and dance hub. Performances, interventions, classes, talks, think tanks, clothes swap and games filled a whole day offering an entertaining yet thoughtful palette that brought people together by activating their minds and bodies to physically experience and share political, social and gender agendas. With left over food provided by local businesses and an audio station that shared interviews with locals we created a landscape that saw everyone involved, affirming the need to speak up and be heard while carefully carving the skills to welcome differences so as to meet togetherness like a blank canvas where a true picture of who we are and what we are living is only ever true when we allow all colours and shapes to paint it. Contributing artists: Laura Doehler Tania Soubry Anne-Gaelle Thiriot Jay Jule Lucy Thane Volunteers: Sebastian Ruiz Alexandra Baybutt Helena Webb Femke Baumann We connect and stand in life with our bodies as medium that hold infinite potentials. Movement and voice, the visual and the audio, the thinking and the sensing body. Awareness through witnessing and participation. We invite you to collectively design and shape the world around. We seek growth by taking an honest and critical stance and present the ideas we have and ask how others understand themselves as part of culture(s) we need to realise and claim. Performances Who is John Wick, work in progress by and with Laura Doehler supported by T. Soubry and A. Thiriot John Wick is a man who kills and gets killed over and over again. He exists as fiction alive in minds, readily obscuring reality. What is it to live in multiple realities, what are the hiding places and what is it we reveal of ourselves when we wear other people’s masks? This work describes a split identity wherein multiple personalities point at isolation and a search to find and make a connect to others. Brave (K)New Rave by and with Tania Soubry This work was in residency at Berlin Ufer Studios until 14.09.2020 A participative performance Let’s rave regenerative stories. How can we live together without beating each other up? How can we dance our way out of crisis? When did you last cry at the news? When did you last dance until sweat dripped down your face? Lie down if you want to, get up when you want. I invite you to listen, to reflect, to dance alone, with me, with us. Octopussies by Anne-Gaelle Thiriot and Jay Yule Performers: Anne-Gaelle Thiriot and Laura Doehler, duet This piece was born out of a desire to explore the female relationship to sexuality and penetration. Drawing on their own individual research, Anne-Gaelle’s physical practice around softness in relationship to tension and desire, meeting Jay’s research into female pleasure and the societal representation of the vulva. Octopussies has been drawing on various cultural approaches to this topic, human and animal. Aiming to evoke and question, they hope to encourage viewers to think about their own sexualities, environments and influences that mould or unmould them. Workshops + Engagements Story Dance by Lucy Thane A “StoryDance” workshop, inspiring people to find movement from a small story that compiles into a group dance linking each small movement and story together. It may become a procession if we wish, it may become what we want it to be. Contact Improvisation Facilitated by A. Thiriot and Laura Doehler Clothes Swap Facilitated by Venice, the whole community brings clothes and takes home new old pieces to enjoy. Reading and Moving Together A workshop by T. Soubry where texts meet embodied and social spaces, creating a new intimacy where words and body intertwine. Making the Green Green A thinktank how to get more plants and community events going to make the community centre more Green Round Table Passing the mic around we gather thoughts and opinions how we feel, act and make life work in Ladywell.

Their distinct approaches utilize techniques of touch, sensation, imagery, drawing, sounding and embodied listening to invite couriousity and receptivity towards the movement and energies we own and those that surround us. It is a journey into a sense making of the moving body and its pathway into interconnectivity. We invite all cultures, genders and abilities to join in to create a space of inclusivity to expand our collective story. We want people to encounter dances to foster a togetherness based on equality and openness that is respectful of our boundaries. The dance artists: Elisa Vassena Playfully moving between dancing and mark-making/drawing, Elisa's classes will invite us to cultivate curiosity towards different materialities in motion. We will allow our attention to sharpen, shift and drift while engaging with the dynamic plurality of our bodies in relation to others. Imagination, imagery, and object work will be woven into the sessions as sparks for open exploration. Laura Doehler Laura’s classes will enable us to openly and respectfully meet the perceptive field of territories and boundaries that we bring into the shared space through our bodies and histories. We will work with, pull and stretch our entanglements with these fluid, alien and intimate identities we own to viscerally explore collective sense making through gentle contact work, bodily listening and tuning practices for a new shared imagination to emerge. Sara Ruddock The sessions with Sara invite listening through the body, as a relational and multi-sensory practice, playing with viscerality of voice, sound, rhythm and vibration, being with potentials and many moving parts. Tending to what might open if I listen through the in-betweens and edges of my perception, and how the way I listen might change my experience. You are invited to be with questions that the practice generates for you, as well as co-creating scores/loose frames for improvising together.

The Most Wuthering Day Ever Hilly Fields, London 2021 The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever is an event held at locations around the world where participants recreate the music video for musician Kate Bush's 1978 song "Wuthering Heights". The event's inspiration is Shambush's The Ultimate Kate Bush Experience, which took place in 2013 in Brighton, as part of Brighton Fringe created by performance collective Shambush. Since then the event has been proposed across Europe, Asia, the Americas and Australia! In 2021 just when the pandemic eased we facilitated it in Hilly Fields, London! The income generated for this event went to fundraise Exit Map to be able to continue Moving On and to the local charity Hilly Fields who look after the planting of trees by getting the local community engaged to look after their local park. In fact two of the trees in Hilly Fields are there thanks to this event.

Open Day For a whole day The Green shared what it offers – classes, meet ups, support schemes, drop ins, tea and coffee – for its local community to get a taste and to integrate development that comes directly from the community and is for the community. Exit Map's facilitation focussed on the wishes and dreams of lour local community and worked on producing an environment that connected and listened to what is going on in people’s lives. As a community centre The Green wants to create social well being and so we ask you How are we well together? The program of tasters showed what is on offer on a regular basis but throughout the day there were conversations, games, food and interview stations, map making etc to find out who is who and for all to remember that people are worth meeting and that strangers can be become friends. The entire event was free, grown from people who care: The Green, Exit Map, its teaching community and the community itself who provided food and helped out; people who care and want to connect.

Archive of past events. Archive of events and productions SHARED PRACTICE X TENSION Shared Practice X Tension projects stem from the practice and tools we extricate from our weekly Shared Practice. Process led, artists share and unearth what moves them through a movement practice where conversations find a flow that open up more processes. We speak differently after we moved. Instead of products we accumulate structures that invite participation to keep processing but gradually we invite more people in, gather more views and encourage creative contributions. We collectively develop ideas into projects, from artists into the community by mobilising exchanges and shared ownership. Moving On 2020 - 2023 Lewisham, London based with satellite projects worldwide A headphone or radio installation, Moving On are somatic audio guides conceived by dance and sound artists, to inspire ways of being with the more-than-human. Moving On is created by a community of artists for a community of people to breathe deeply and move freely with our surroundings and become part of a wider ecosystem. Changing Climates Secular Rituals at Ponderosa, Germany June 2023 To talk constructively about the climate means to create a climate in which encounters are possible, in which we move and exchange together. Secular Rituals is an inquiry by Exit Map on how to cultivate and integrate into the everyday, an embodied connectivity between self and other(s). Dinner Of Doing Things Conceived by the community of Exit Map in various SE London homes. Spring 2023 The Dinner of Doing Things is an initiative to open our homes for others to visit us and help us with whatever we need help with. We de-privatize our needs and open a personal space for imperfections to be seen and, with the support of our community, find solutions. Alongside we grow and expand into a shared sense of identity. Zine - Architectures of Togetherness Exit Map Community with design by Carolina Vasilikou December 2022 - January 2023 Following the research Radical Inclusion, we wanted to share our questions with the wider community what it would mean "to design space together, thinking in ways of movement? How can somatic practices conceive multiple architectures that are exuded from multiple bodies? " (C. Vasilikou) Walk + Talk + Cake Green Community Centre and Nunhead Cemetery Aug 2022 Our ingredients for joyous community events to connect people and spaces are: make a cake, bring old clothes for a clothes swap and then join us for a walk around Nunhead cemetery where the dead are graced with teeming wildlife. After, we eat cake, let go of old clothes, find a new old thing to take home and dance in the sun to music from our radios. Radical Inclusion Carolina Vasilikou and Laura Doehler Research Residency October 2021 in Ponderosa, Germany To further Ponderosa's vision to connect with neighbours and put Ponderosa on the map with its ability to give life to the unimaginable (Utopia), we make space to accept what isn't that. Permeability of otherness, directions of flows and small openings that invite new connections. The Most Wuthering Height Day Ever 2021, Hilly Fields, London Held at locations around the world, people recreate the dance of the song "Wuthering Heights" by musician Kate Bush ( 1978). To get our local community together at a time when lockdown was just easing enough, we shared this opportunity to dress up and dance like Kate! Together We Are, Towards a Regenerative Culture performances, classes and interventions at the Green Community Centre, London Feb 2020 We proposed new ways to integrate movement, dance and social action wherein artistic socio- environmental encounters offered participation and initiated a process of imagining a future together. A community is planting trees Collective Action December 2019 at the Green Community Centre, London. Exit Map joined the initiative of the Conservation Volunteers to plant trees across London with our local SE community. Donations of wood and soil allowed us to collectively build tree boxes with photographs that show who made it happen. Clothes Swap and Film Screening Collective Action and Film Screening July 2019 at the Green Community Centre, London How many in our community have never swapped clothes in their lives and have not yet heard about the impact sweat shops have? The world needs more clothes swaps and with a screening of 'The True Cost' we shall never look back. Open Day Talks, Interviews, performances, food and maps at the Green Community Centre, London Feb 2019 A one day festival for and with the local community in collaboration with the Green, our local community centre in Nunhead to collectively map the area, its residents and share work in progress by our artists.
