Art x Embodiment
Creativity at home in the body
Join Circling Studios and Austen Bohmer for an afternoon of movement and artmaking considering the embodied self as the site of creativity.
The Vessel is a new movement practice for creatives by Austen Bohmer. Drawing inspiration from Butoh, yoga, Jungian Dreamwork, and dancefloors around the world, The Vessel helps you quiet your mind and connect to your body. This is where your creative impulse comes alive.
After we move, create something with your hands. Guided by the Circling team, wrap up the afternoon with a reflective artmaking opportunity and connect what you've learned to your own creative practice.
We hope you walk away feeling grounded, connected, inspired, and ready to integrate these experiences into the next steps of your artistic path.
💥 An 18+ event. Please dress in clothing you can move comfortably in and bring an exercise mat if you have one; we will have a few extras available if needed.
💫 For artists and anyone interested in the creative process! Share this event with a friend you'd like to join you.
💞 Pay what you can. $5-$50 range suggested.
