About this Event
In times of uncertainty, agency is reclaimed and new meanings are formed through our interactions with the world. When we diminish the experience of our living bodies, we lose touch with our dynamically engaged, kinesthetically attuned selves, distancing ourselves from each other, the world, and the very animation that drives and structures our lives.
This workshop views movement as the foundation of all contacting. Kinetic engagement with one’s own body - and the bodies of others - can simultaneously make us aware of our own basic fragility, our interconnectedness, and our power to create ourselves and our lives. By paying attention to the movement within us, between us, and around us, we make sense of the world. This workshop will include movement-based experiments, lectures, and shared discoveries to help foster our kinesthesia and increase our awareness of how we are simultaneously shaping our interactions and being shaped by them. In this way each can participate in inventing themselves and the world with, and through, each other.
We look forward to learning more together.
