Cellular performance.

Somatic + Performing workshop with Artem Markov CELLULAR PERFORMANCE. "The consciousness of the cell is perhaps as different from the ordinary consciousness of a mature human as is the latter from the enlightened consciousness of a fully realized being. Nevertheless these and other states of consciousness exist simultaneously within us, many of them beneath or beyond the threshold of our awareness. One way that we can begin to experience these other states of being and perception is through awakening of our awareness at the cellular level." Linda Hartley // I invite you to one of the most basic and most profound somatic workshop. This course is about cellular consciousness, about the state of being. EXPERIENCE Cellular experience is primary. Direct experience of experiencing, less connected with the analytical part and frontal lobes of the Brain. The state of being is often transcendental. PREHISTORY The first cell on earth appeared 4.5 billion years ago, it had no nucleus, and DNA floated inside the outer membrane of the cell. Thus, the history of life on earth and each subsequent cell appeared by division and store the entire history of the development of life and species. Then 3 billion years ago, one such cell managed to eat a second cell and not split it inside itself. She grew a nucleus around her DNA, and the second inner cell began to generate energy while sitting hostage, to multiply independently inside, this is what we call mitochondria. Mitochondria have their DNA inside of them. It's not strange, but like any other abstract place, a cell is a place on which life can be projected. We do not yet know of such other life on earth and beyond, except for a cell or something consisting of cells. The cell is the archetype of life. Cells eat substances from the environment, release waste, multiply. Cells have the same functions. Moving through this experience we can better understand who we are and what we are. TOOLS VISUALIZATION Through work with anatomical material, we begin to become more aware of the processes taking place in the body; HANDS-ON Work with touch in pairs (it is also called bodywork) gives us more external information, the second person can teach the body=mind new qualities of life. This is how we learn from each other from early childhood. Often, something sprouts into awareness in the careful presence and touch of a partner of the previously unattainable material; MOVEMENT With the help of movement, dance and play, we will integrate the experience into life. PERFORMANCE I am looking for new wild inspiration to reveal it for performance practice. Come play, learn and get fed up with movement! // Artem Markov (dip.
