Inhabit the Wor(l)ds: Embodying the Text
You have learned it. You know it by heart. Now — what if we went beyond the effort of remembering and let ourselves inhabit the wo rds?


This three-hour workshop explores what happens when a memor ised text — a poem, a short tale, a fragment of a song carried in the body for years — is freed from the effort of retrieval. When we stop pulling t he words out of memory and begin to let them move through us, something sh ifts: the body becomes the container of imagination, the words become the navigation tools.


We meet to work on our presence, practising to be here and now through physical theatre training.


Participants bring a short text they know by heart — no page, no prompt — and are guid ed through a series of exercises that gradually open up the infinite possi bilities of inhabiting the words and the worlds that come alive with them.


The key is to arrive with a text so well learned that memory is no longer an effort — so that we can discover the liveliness of the words through embodied practice.


The workshop is open to all levels. You do not need a performance background — only a text that means somethin g to you, learned well enough to say without reading it.


We work individually and together, in a playful and generous atmosphere, with a s hort break in the middle.


Duration: 3 hours (with short break) · Bring a short memorised text (poem or tale) · Open to all levels · Wear c omfortable clothing · Min. 4 / Max. 8 participants

Her work exists at th e intersection of political theatre, socially explorative performance, and artistic practice-based research — investigating how the exercise of arti stic freedom of expression can foster critical hope and social relief.
At the heart of her practice is the voice: not only as an instrument, but as an act of presence. Geraldine guides performers and non-performers alik e in finding, training, and daring to expose their own voice — understandi ng it as one of the most intimate and most political tool we carry
