Weed Workshop by Stacey Ho
25/08/19 | 11:00
Participants will spend their time together writing, drawing, reading, listening, and looking alongside the humble plants that are found in the corners of the garden at Unit 17.
Stacey will be reading from “Anti-Invasion Ecologies”, an essay that troubles colonial and anti-immigrant metaphors used to describe so-called weeds. We will poke around the garden and also write and draw and read aloud from some very special texts.
Writing/drawing materials and lunch will be provided, as well as free entry.
Domes, Spirals... Sensing Form in Human Movement
04/08/19 | 11:00 ⟶ 14:00
This workshop, led by Hannah Acton, offered an introduction to Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis through a guided exploration of one's own lived anatomy. The event was informed by how a development of kinesthetic awareness promotes literacy in Non-Symbolic languages and thus increases the precision with which we may exchange with our environment.
Rudolph Laban's theory of human movement acknowledges that forms found in our environment are perceptible within us, and vice versa. In this way, abstraction can be located within the body and addressed not only by the mind, but also by a chorus of integrated body systems.
