The natural elements – Tree, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water – will be the guiding themes of this workshop.
How can elements teach us how to move, how to sound, how to listen to and how to be healed?
Starting with movement and sound, we will expand our practices into ritual performance that bridge ancient wisdom into daily life with personal meaning.
We will integrate this elemental wisdom with many spheres of relationship— personal, social, environmental, historical, and ancestral.
Dohee’s work is deeply influenced by her cultural background in Korean Traditional Arts, Ritual practice, East Medicinal Elements, ancestral knowledge and the Tamalpa Life/Art Process.
This workshop will guide you to learn Dohee’s unique approach to working with the elemental body through movement and sound, ritual and performance.
Learnings:
- Elemental Body Movements: Tree, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water
- Singing Body Practice: Tuning our bodies through sound, movement and rhythm
- Exploring and expressing our bodies through creative art practice
- Using the Halprin scoring process (RSVP cycles) to create individual and collective performances
- Development of performance & ritual skills
No dance or art experience needed.
To get the most out of this online class, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device and reliable internet service. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for the drawing activity and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
Workshops are for ages 18+ only and disability access is not provided.
Please note: Tamalpa does not record nor permit the recording of any classes or workshops due to the sensitive and sometimes vulnerable nature of the work, and to protect student privacy.
