This workshop weaves together exploratory research in dance, somatics and ecological thinking into a sustainable life model. It is our belief that in order to tackle the questions we face in the world today, we need to start with our perceptions. Participants will be invited to experience a state that goes beyond their own cultural believes. By deconstructing perceptual concepts of any nature, habitual patterns, lifelong conditionings as well as many limiting mindsets they will be encouraged to question their own belief systems. This unfamiliar landscape, which may appear frightening at times, in fact may provide an extremely fertile terrain for new discoveries.
One way to recover our ethical base and understanding our interconnected nature with our surroundings is to ‘dance our thinking’. In this workshop, we will integrate movement and holistic approaches to ecology.
You will acquire an understanding of:
· Interconnectivity between your thoughts and actions
· How your perceptions affect interaction with the natural world
· A clearer view of relationships with the world around you
· The value of art to ecology and ecology to art
· The interplay between art and science
· Gain skills of touch and somatic expression
· How to live more sustainably in a world of constant change
· The parallel between how you treat yourself and how you treat the natural world
Taught by four international art and sustainability educators, the training will include Laban/Bartenieff, contact-improvisation, somatics/bodywork, permaculture and nature awareness methodologies.
This workshop is designed for artists, facilitators and seekers from all areas, who are looking for ways to integrate creative and ecological approaches in order to explore and develop pathways for sustainable living.
Facilitators are: Satu Palokangas, Stefa Roth, Bruno Caverna, Lars Schmidt The location will provide access to a dance studio, as well as peaceful natural surroundings.
