✨ Open Body — Physical Theatre Workshop to Start 2026 by Cloud Causality ✨
Details
How do you want to enter the new year — in your head, or with your body?
We want to invite you to start 2026 with us in a good way, by reconnecting with yourself, others and the world around you ✨
Through movement, theatre games, and guided exploration, we invite you to soften, listen, and rediscover a sense of openness and presence.
This special edition of our monthly workshop is led by all the 3 co-founders from Cloud Causality (Yes! All hands on deck!):
🇩🇰 Gustav Marcus Lauesen - Danish creative actor & theatre maker
🇩🇰 Emil Aron Dorph - Danish actor starred in the Netflix film Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction
🇨🇳 Zippo Guo - Chinese physical theatre artist & illusionist
The 3 instructors has been working together since 2023 in the Netherlands, they also taught together in China.
🎭 Theme: Open Body
In this workshop, we explore what it means to have an “open body”:
- A body that listens before it reacts.
- A body that is available to connection.
- A body that feels grounded, curious, and alive.
Through physical theatre and ensemble-based exercises, you will experience:
- How openness in the body affects communication and connection.
- How letting go of tension creates space for play and spontaneity.
- How moving together builds trust, awareness, and a sense of belonging.
This is not about performance or technique —
it’s about being, sensing, and starting the year from a place of openness.
🌿 What You’ll Experience
- Theatre games and movement exercises focused on openness and connection.
- Ensemble improvisations that build trust and awareness.
- A pressure-free space to reconnect with your body and others.
- Play, curiosity, and shared experience.
No scripts. No right or wrong.
Just bodies, imagination, and the group.

✔ Start the year feeling grounded and connected.
