WORM x Amarte 2025 – 4 Series of Workshops
WORM & Amarte present four exciting workshop series this fall!
Each series consists of three workshops, and they’re all free to attend.
These workshops are created by creative collectives who want to integrate facilitation and knowledge-sharing with their own practices, offering something meaningful in return to those who take part.
All workshops take place in November, so make sure to sign up or grab a free ticket.

MOULD ME by Goblin Feast
Celebrate odd, mythical foods inspired by the goblin; the mischievous folklore outcast. We call on all our misbehaving castaways to explore the journey to celebration. What makes an event, a figure of power, or a feeling worth celebrating?
09 NOV 16:00 – 19:00
Character Building. We begin by making your goblin alter ego. Through playful exercises in movement, character work, and hands-on making, we guide you in developing a persona to carry through the whole series.
20 NOV 16:00 – 19:00
Edible Centerpiece Making. Design and build otherworldly food sculptures, create edible installations, and experiment with how food can express sentiments, politics, and play.
21 NOV 18:00 – 22:00
The Ceremonial Feast. The characters we create and the food monuments we built come together in a mythical ritual: a shared ceremony that blends performance, dining, and offering.

SOFT TISSUE by SoupSpoon
Explore how embodied practices can unsettle diagnosis and open new ways of sensing and being together, approaching health as shifting relations of body, memory, environment, and society rather than as a fixed condition to be restored.
