Wit(h)nessing – Inner and outer habitats
A workshop with Defne Erdur (IT/FR/TR) in cooperation with ImPulsTanz.
The primary prospect of this meeting is to accompany individuals to relate to their own selves and reflect on their needs, resources, ideas; to relate their physical and social environment in playful and joyful ways.
This week WE will dive deeper into the layers of our presence; to seek a conscious yet liberated and sovereign place to move from. Together WE will be tuning into our physical, emotional and mental foundation(s). WE will be working with the sensations and anatomical make up of our bodies, directing our awareness to inner and outer stimuli.
Being WITH and focusing on our self, other beings, and the abundant nature around us; training tuning in and out… Being WITNESS to our self, other beings, and the stimulating environment, training care and response-ability… Towards spontaneity and creativity.
It will be important and necessary for us to be willing to co-create a container that allows each one to transform, discover/recover, reconnect to their potential as artist, researcher, teacher, facilitator, student; to be a curious being on this planet. There will be a clear time-space frame to hold what is being born in our togetherness. We are invited to reach out to other means of expression (movement, drawing, sound, sculpting, writing…) to encounter our own inner and outer landscape from a new, different perspective.
“Every Body Knows” and “Hunting Gathering Cultivating” sessions will be our main practice islands; beyond this many modalities ranging from Wheel of Consent, Somatic Experiencing to Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement, Expressive Arts Therapy to Instant Composition will be at our service.
Looking forwards to this joyfully serious, seriously joyful week that WE will co-create!
