Growing our capacity to create community is one of the most pressing issues we face in our culture today. Engagement with the imaginative, somatic, and expressive dimensions of our selves is necessary if we are to develop our capacity for collaboration. This workshop uses the Chormmunity ( choreography + co mmunity) method to facilitate the participants in growing collaborative capacities — through movement inquiry, dialogue, drawing, collectively choreographing, and enacting a “movement text” (re-inhabiting the self-authored collective body). Together, we will be the playwrights, choreographers, directors, performers, and audience of our own soul’s unfolding.
In this experiential workshop, participants will have the opportunity to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Experience the joy of artful, collective, authentic expression
- Discover Self and Other through symbolic and somatic modalities
- Cultivate a field ripe for mutual leadership and transformative learning
|
- Engage intrapersonally and interpersonally with difference
- Explore the process of holding, deciding, negotiating, and shaping with aliveness
|
No dance or movement experience required; wear loose, comfortable clothes.
