Earth Bodies - Environmental Grief
by Martha Hincapié Charry
Date & Time
Sunday, 24 May, 15:00 - 15:50
About the workshop
The lab opens my ritualistic process, delving into the relationship of our bodies with nature and the current climate chaos or biodiversity extinction crisis. With an ecosomatic approach, we’ll explore our interdependence with Earth, unfolding, with a non-anthropocentric perspective, an intersectional reflection together with more-than-human bodies, linking the visible and the invisible worlds. Participants are invited to embody one’s understanding of nature, reflected in the mirror of the current crisis in our relationship with our own nature.
Participants are asked to bring with them an element of nature: a stone, branch or a feather for example.
Who is this for
The workshop is aimed at movement artists, choreographers, dancers, actors, performers, musicians or visual artists who are interested in navigating ancestral knowledge to unfold together a transdisciplinary dialogue and an excavation of our bonds with the environment.
