Moving Untamed: Movement Research Workshop

​A 3-part workshop on site specificity through the lenses of psychoanalysis, architecture and somatic practices. How do I experience myself in relation to my surroundings? How does my surroundings interact with my perception? What narratives emerge when I slow down and allow for new choices and uses of space? Through these questions, we will explore methodologies for embodied, site-specific research, attending to the present moment in relation to the context in which we move. We will work with the notions of grounding, orientation, proximity and distance as entrances to reconsider our sense of identity and our relationship to space.

​Each session begins indoors with somatic practices that cultivate grounding, increased awareness, and sensitivity to inner and outer stimuli, supporting a sense of safety through sustained attention to bodily experience. We will then move outdoors, close to STPLN, where we will experiment with different site-responsive movement practices and ways of engaging with the environment.

​Participation in all three workshops is recommended, and no prior experience is needed!

​June 7, 14, 21 (12.00-14.00) at STPLN

​The process will be presented at the Moving Untamed: Symposium on Artistic Research through Embodied Practices. Read more and sign up for the symposium here.
