  Varies depending on the teacher.

• applies in this implementation

  This workshop focuses on the role of the body and embodied practices cutting across varied forms of research, creative work, and everyday life. It has been designed to open an opportunity to discuss perspectives on the body, movement and affect by engaging students directly in sensorial explorations, embodied expression and performative practices. The workshop also asks how different, and differently situated and abled bodies experience and negotiate embodied interaction with others, norms, spaces, critters, habits, boundaries, aging —affecting, being affected and becoming.

  To continue unpacking up the topic, the second and last spring iteration of the workshop invites a series of three practitioners working across a wide range of practices the body and somatic explorations. The workshop will have then 3 independent modules, lead by a dancer, a visual artist/performer, and a choreographer, respectively. The intent of the series is to further investigate the impact of corporeal and sensorial experience in research and everyday life, and to expand the tools and practices students may use to ground and explore their own embodied existence for different aims. 

   

  Each module consists of 3 sessions and will take max.15 students.

  The workshop aims to be a safe space for exploration to familiarize participants with varied approaches to embodiment and facilitate somatic and movement awareness. It welcomes differently abled people and bodies from widely varied backgrounds, and does not require any experience in movement or performance practices.
