Participation in WORKSHOPS is open to everyone (except for the V4 Workshop, which is by invitation only) and is free of charge.
However, the capacity of each workshop is limited, so you must secure a free ticket via goout.net or at the Info Centre.
Subin Baek and Sangyeob Lee (South Korea) | Physical training through Ganggangsullae
5 April 2025 | 10:00 – 11:00 | Orlí Theatre, 6th floor, Rehearsal Room
Gang-gang-sullae is a traditional folk game played under the moon on the Korean holiday of Chuseok. It is also an important intangible cultural heritage. The basic form is singing in a circle while holding hands, combining various games.
The women gather in the courtyard, holding hands and singing and dancing in a circle. A woman with a good voice and musical talent stands at the front and shouts ‘Ganggangsullae’, whereupon the others respond ‘Ganggangsullae’.
Ganggangsullae was a game designed for women. The lyrics of the songs, which are closely related to the lives of women, convey the feelings of longing, loneliness and joy experienced by women of that time.
K-Art uses this dance as a form of physical training for actors, and choreography based on Ganggangsullae was also used in the production of The Nape.

Led by artist and performance maker Dávid Somló, this three-day workshop invites participants to explore spatial composition and collective movement in public space through a reconstruction of Drift, his site-specific sound choreography originally created for the 2019 Prague Quadrennial.
Using simple yet precise choreographic structures, participants will explore concepts of spatial perception, pedestrian dynamics and movement-based soundscapes. The workshop will culminate in a public performance in which performers carrying hidden sound sources will activate the urban environment and draw passersby into an emergent, immersive experience.
Kamila Holíková (Czech Republic) | Sonic workshop
April 2, 2025 | 14:00 – 14:50 | DF JAMU, room 401
The art of deep listening
Can we create a transformed society in which love and compassion are the fundamental principles guiding our decisions and actions?
Kamila Holíková presents Sonic Meditation by Pauline Oliveros as a tool for connecting with compassion, imagination and memories. These group exercises not only develop our listening skills, but also teach us how to connect, co-create and exist in harmony – a skill that is essential to develop in the current state of society.
