In this workshop series we will explore creative pathways to embody vitality. We’ll deepen our movement awareness and expressiveness, and we’ll use performance as a portal to activate our sense of aliveness and presence, and to generate images of renewal. Through the lens of the Life/Art Process, we’ll begin by tuning in to bodily sensations and journey outward by developing our range of movement. Weaving in our imagination, we’ll explore dances of our bones, nerves, and hearts as inspiration for performance. Along the way, we’ll share mini-performances where we witness and are witnessed by others.
Over the course of the series, we’ll create a vitality art journal, composed of images, words, and other materials that give form to our dances. At the end of the series, we’ll gather the essence of our journal and perform our re-vitalizing dances to remember who we are and who we may become, to reach down to the roots of our vitality.
Open to all. No art/performance experience required. Willingness to explore, yes!
To get the most out of this online series, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for drawing activities, and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
