It is an embodied inquiry into our interdependency, opening our senses to what is present, and making choices based on the larger context of our shared ecologies. In these times of digital disembodiment, when our relationships with nature, each other, and our body are becoming increasingly indirect, this project comes as a necessity. We come together to discover an intuitive body moving in communion with nature. To reclaim our nature, to re-wild our imagination, to move towards personal and collective change and transformation inspired by the embodied understanding intertwined with awareness of the current environmental situation. Offering space for exploration, inquiry, artistic exchange and expression, collaboration and activism.
