BODY WORLDS Experiential anatomy, contact improvisation and dancing with nature workshop, 20-23 DEC

BODY WORLDS Experiential anatomy, contact improvisation and dancing with nature workshop 20 - 23 DECEMBER 2021 KOH PHANGAN This workshop is about experiential anatomy in poetic connection with the natural world, explored through solo movement, contact improvisation & contemplation. We will investigate structures, functions and qualities inherent in the following systems: Bones, Fascia, Muscle. Processing the embodiment of anatomical information through hands on partner work, visualisation & movement explorations. Working with images that will support us to enter the systems, move from within them, and express their unique qualities. Opening new perspectives on the body we inhabit, and bringing more presence and aliveness to its movement. Engaging our imagination and intuition in solo improvisations & improvisation in physical contact with others. The material of the workshop brings attention, sensitivity and curiosity to our own body, the bodies we are in relation with - the human and non human nature. Moving from objective relating to intersubjective relationships; from thinking connectivity and independency, to sensing and feeling interconnectedness and interdependence. This work intends to inspire change in how we relate to nature. To feel nature as part of our body. And from that embodied understanding move towards the current environmental crisis. There will be guided explorations, frames for improvising, sharing and integrating. You are welcome to bring materials for drawing, writing, painting. Sessions will take place in the studio and in nature. BODY WORLDS is part of BEING NATURE PROJECT - encouraging people to discover their own way of connecting with deeper self and the natural world. This work supports sensitivity for the intuitive body, bringing awareness and vitality to our expression, and inviting dynamic integrity into our dance and life. SCHEDULE (times coming soon) We will meet approximately 3-6 hours per day.
