TECHNOSOMATICS WORKSHOP
Technosomatics is a unique dance practice, which approaches raving as a somatic practice. It consists of an exploration of the endocrine glands and chakras by means of club dancing to techno with eyes closed and vice versa. Developed and shared internationally by Frédéric Gies since 2014, this practice offers a transformative experience.
The sessions at Den Frie in the frame of the Performance bulletin will be with the DJ Johanna Knustsson for the music.
On Saturday, June 7, there will be two workshops.
- 11.00–13.00 | FIRST WORKSHOP
- 22.00–00.00 | SECOND WORKSHOP

About Den Frie
Den Frie is an exhibition space dedicated to showcasing trailblazing contemporary art, rooted in a collective tradition. Founded in 1891 by the artists’ association Den Frie Udstilling in response to the conservative artistic norms of the time, Den Frie has always championed the values of community and collaboration. Inspired by the cooperative movement, Den Frie has provided an essential platform for free and experimental art since its inception–challenging the prevailing zeitgeist, supporting ground-breaking developments, and empowering artists to push the boundaries of how art can be expressed and experienced.
For over 125 years, Den Frie has been housed in an iconic wooden building located opposite Østerport Station in Copenhagen. Designed by J.F. Willumsen, a pioneering figure in Danish art, the building itself is a testament to innovation and creativity. Its facade features a stunning golden relief of Pegasus with a young man on its back—an enduring symbol of poetic power and artistic inspiration.
