The Aesthetics of Action in Search of Possibilities
Omar RajehAbout
In this reflective conversation, choreographer Omar Rajeh opens a space to question the aesthetics of action—not as representation, but as a force that shapes presence, meaning, and ‘becoming’. How does dance become a site for gathering, for cultural imagination, and for rethinking the dynamics of space and participation? Through this workshop, participants are invited to explore action as a form of thinking, and choreography as an opening toward collective possibilities.
SHIFT
SHIFT, which stands for ‘Shaping Harmony, Innovating Forms & Thought’, questions the forms of space organization in people’s lives culturally, politically and socially. The project seeks to explore new formats of artistic expression, community engagement, and audience interaction, involving artists, experts, and citizens from multiple EU and Mediterranean countries. By fostering a shift from mere observation to active participation and immersion, SHIFT focuses on investigating new spatial relationships, and shifting the emphasis from 'visual aesthetics' in conventional venues to dynamic 'aesthetics of action' in adaptable, non-dedicated performance spaces The project is led by Cie Omar Rajeh & Maqamat (France), Fondazione Fabbrica Europa per le arti contemporanee (Italy), Albania Dance Meeting (Albania). In association with France Travail Scènes et Images- Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (France), Beit El Raqs (Lebanon), Teatri Kombetar Eksperimental Kujtim Spahivogli (Albania)
