This two-day dance and movement workshop invites participants aged 13 and up into a playful, embodied exploration of Agnes Denes’ The Living Pyramid.. Rooted in Denes’ vision of sculptural, living forms, the workshop explores the artwork’s generative tensions: geometry and growth, order and wildness, structure and unpredictability.

Through guided movement and somatic practices, we will investigate how our bodies relate to both architectural form and the organic rhythms of nature. Moving between micro and macro perspectives—from the intricate systems within our own bodies to the vast structures of living landscapes—we’ll attune ourselves to cycles of bloom and decay, stillness and transformation.

Across the two days, we will explore shape, pulse and texture through improvisation, play and bodily inquiry. Participants will be encouraged to experience the body as a dynamic, living structure in constant flux - an expression of the same forces that shape the natural world.

Ultimately, this workshop invites us to move beyond the illusion of separation between body and nature, structure and flow. In movement, we’ll come to sense the body not just in nature, but as nature.
