A Workshop to Rediscover Dance
Seven Ways to Play the Fool is a unique event within the 2026 cultural program of the Valencian Institute of Culture (IVC). Led by Taller Placer, an artistic collective known for its innovative and accessible approach, this workshop invites participants to explore dance as a living, approachable, and fun practice, far from traditional constraints.
The goal is not to learn "correct" steps but to free your movement and experiment with your body in a collaborative environment. Perfect for those looking to break away from the rigidity of formal techniques or simply enjoy dancing without pressure, the workshop is open to all ages and skill levels, from beginners to professionals.
