In Saunders latest work she has been researching performance as meditation, duration, What does it take for our bodies to be in an expressive meditative state as performance? How and when might the two states conflict and converge? What is this like to Witness? For this workshop we’ll traverse cycles of making, expressing, and witnessing- “Hot Oven Spaces” that challenge us to reconcile boredom, fatigue, injury, pain, fear- if only, for the moment of pre & per- forming. This workshop will engage some of the core principles of Saunders’ Imagining Liberation praxis, and collective story sharing.
Sessions will include:
Durational Praxis
Improvisation
Making
Embodied Meditation
Journaling
Sourcing
Being & Witnessing
What to expect:
