Description and background of workshop
memoria: voice, body memory is a two-day workshop whereby I am exploring with participants ways of tracing memory through the vocal-body. This workshop idea is inspired by an ongoing search for approaches that can re-mobilise and re-gather spirit and intention in order to gradually integrate the split-off selves and memory, fragmented along the paths of dis-location, re-location and time.
We will begin each session with 5 Element Bodywork practice called Pancha Tanmantra, which offers techniques of cycling through different qualities of emotional energies with the vocal-body. We will experience together how huge emotions can arise and pass.
Once the vocal-body is prepared we will explore methods of working/accessing memory from different points in time, re-embodying it through voice and body.
This acts as a point of departure for creating and deepening images which i often use in performance creation processes.
Please bring sketch book and writing/drawing material. Please wear comfortable clothes and small towel.
