No Deadline International Workshop Series:
LEE\VAKULYA
No Deadline are thrilled to continue our workshop series this autumn, in collaboration with Danscentrum Väst.
The duo LEE\VAKULYA opens up ten years of shared creative space, a decade of making work and living inside the questions that collaborative creation demands. In this workshop, we share movement practices developed with our dancers to challenge how attention works, not just where it goes, but how it moves through the body and what it lets in. Moving solo and in shared dance, we take time with each task, guided by deep sensations and internal states rather than how the movement looks from the outside. Listening is the throughline here, engaging not only the ear and eye, but the skin, intuition, and senses that don't even have names yet. As our attention opens, listening reshapes what you can catch next time. Drawing on the strategies LEE\VAKULYA uses in their own practice, this workshop invites you to hear what movement - yours and someone else's - is doing, and to externalize your inner landscape with the power of imagination.
The workshop will be given to the dance field free of charge on the 10th and 11th of October at Ärlegården, Göteborg. Sign up by sending an e-mail to deadastheline@gmail.com. Subject line: Workshop LV.

LEE\VAKULYA is a collaborative artistic duo company by Chen-Wei Lee (Taiwan) and Vakulya Zoltan (Hungary) based in Brussels, Belgium. They have been working together since 2016, creating several stage works and museum/gallery-format exhibitions and performances. Wei and Zoltan have been dedicated to slowly crystallizing their own approach to movement, which comes together from their own physical research, inspired and enriched by companies and choreographers they have previously worked with, such as Batsheva (IL), Voetvolk (BE), Hodworks (HUN), and Mal Pelo (ESP).Their artistic view is focused on the delicate relations between human beings and society while touching on vulnerable issues on the questions of boundaries and proximity, they push the limits of partnership and empathy.With the different stage works they have created, they had won awards from Taishin Performing Arts Award 2023, TECO Award for the Art of Dance 2020, and the Jeon Mak Arts Award 2017, and were nominated for Total Theatre Award 2017 (United Kingdom), Best Choreographer for the stage work Mephisto (2022), commissioned by the Serbian National Theater etc...

Listen to No Deadline on Liza Penkova's podcast:
During Dance Week Festival in Zagreb, No Deadline’s Toby Kassell taught a 3-day workshop at Zagreb Dance Centre:
Composition in Motion
In this improvisation-based workshop, choreographer and performer Toby Kassell (UK/SE) invites participants to explore the relationship between individual voice and collective motion. The sessions are grounded in embodied awareness and spatial attention, guiding dancers toward intuitive compositional choices in real time.
Participants work with shared improvisation structures and movement scores that activate listening, presence and the poetic potential of the group. Kassell’s approach emphasizes the emergence of choreography from within – rather than imposed design – challenging dancers to take creative responsibility inside a collaborative space.
