Draw in g into movement; movement into pai n ting; writing into movement; moving into writing. Clay will also be used on this course.
Course Description
This workshop will encompass a practical engagement with your tutor's approach to movement/the body in relationship to materials and making of performance work, sculpture and mark-making.
You will explore working between mediums of movement (from a somatic dance approach), writing, drawing, painting and clay - how the different encounters feed into each other.
No dance movement experience is needed; no visual arts experience needed either.
