Movement Workshop: Superorganism
Noam Carmeli & Dr. Nir Ofek
Superorganism is a movement workshop that weaves scientific findings with embodied practice to examine how group movement, attention, and improvisation generate synchrony and shared dimensions. We invite you on an experiential–research journey that probes the phase transition at which a collection of individuals yields new forms and transforms from an organism into a super-organism. This is an invitation to observe and to participate: a session that integrates guided movement practice with facilitated dialogue, cultivating a living entity.
Friday | Nov 14 | 10:00-12:00
Location: 2nd Floor Museum of Natural History
