DRIFT: a drawing and movement workshop | Anya Smolnikova + Lilianna Kane [+ Julio Neijens]

DRIFT: a drawing and movement workshop
With: Anya Smolnikova and Lilianna Kane [+ weekend guest teacher Julio Neijens]

drift:
as in let it carry you
as in daydream
as in follow the flow

DRIFT is a drawing and movement intensive based in research and skill-building designed to build up personal practices as well as strengthen a sense of collective belonging. We will engage in experimental markmaking exercises, work on fundamental drawing techniques from observation and a live model, and tune into inner vision. Daily movement and contact improvisation sessions will keep us flexible, help integrate the senses and open gateways to empathetic relating.

Our work will be supported by fresh home-cooked meals, a library and record collection, saunas, {optional} cold river plunges, fires, 48 acres of woodland and each other.
all levels welcome • beginners encouraged
