Ecosomaticas
This laboratory proposes dances and somatic practices as forms of knowing through identification and embodiment. This type of knowledge, ancestral and historically devaluated in relation to rational knowledge, is activated towards experiencing and getting to know other bodies to be found within the Western category of ‘nature’. Mountains, glaciers, estuaries, rivers, sources of water, wetlands and else are brought into dance within our bodies. Spirits are also invited to dance. Embodiment is here proposed as a key factor for sense thinking other forms of relation with the living world, which can go beyond the binary categories producing and bringing about the objectification and destruction of earth.
The workshop is addressed mainly to dancers, visual artists and people with experience in movement embodiment and somatic practices.
