A creative movement lab for people aged 55+

We invite people aged 55+ to come together in a collective group to explore lived experience through the body with the help of artistic movement. Our bodies carry stories that want to be told — in every phase of life.

This is not a fitness class or a therapeutic session — it is an artistic practice. We work with contemporary dance methodologies, choreographic research, and experimental approaches to create movement material that reflects our authentic experiences. The body, with its accumulated wisdom, physical memory, and unique relationship to time and space, offers rich terrain for creative exploration.

We experiment with improvisation, structured tasks, and compositional exercises. We translate memory into gesture, sensation into sequence, personal narratives into shared artistic expression.

No previous dance experience is required to participate in the IDO Lab, just curiosity and a willingness to explore new things.

The IDO Lab is led by two experienced dance artists, Lia Gusein Zade and Tina Weiler.
