Body Mind Landscape, Moving through Our Archives Workshop
CONTEMPLATIVE MOVEMENT, DRAWING & WRITING AS AN ACT OF EMBODYING OUR FLUIDS IDENTITIES.
“ When grapes turn
to wine, they long for our ability to change.
When stars wheel around the North Pole,
they are longing for our growing consciousness.
Wine got drunk with us,
not the other way.
The body developed out of us, not we from it.
We are bees, and our body is a honeycomb.
We made the body, cell by cell we made it.
”
Each workshop carries on an open topic related to a visual/artwork and a thematic. I invite participants to be curious and allow spaciousness and time to noticing their body mind landscape as an unknown territory. The guided explorations through movement and somatisation are an invitation to contemplate how our sensations arises through embodied activities . The sequences of movement/drawing & writing support the layers of harvesting personals experiences to then be shared with the group.
