In The Workshop bodies are being ‘used’ and ‘tested’ in bizarre ways.  Bodies seem to be handled as tools: dancers are being pushed around like lawn mowers or handled as levers.  The enormous muscular effort and coordination these actions require, make it clear that the manipulated dancers are not will-less subjects, but that -for some incomprehensible reason- they conform to their role as lawn mower or lever.  In this  bizarre coexistence of manipulation and participation, these intense physical interactions create hilarious and captivating images, that propose new visions on individuality and solidarity.

Next to its strong visual character, the performance builds up a direct relationship with the mesmerizing music, which results in an almost classically dancy piece.
