PHANTOM BODIES | REAL PLEASURES
one-day workshop that focuses on awareness
and pleasure of embodiment through creative processes
In this meeting LAB ON STAGE aims to share profound knowledge and practices of body awareness and body work, creating a space for you for attentive experiencing, exploration and play.
In the workshop we will go through practices individually, in pairs and group which include physical and somatic exercises, gentle bodywork, attentive touch and the play between sensation and imagination. We will take time to work with different textures of touch and material in contact with our skin. Especially for this case we will have a closer look on wool (cleaned and slightly processed). We will explore how touch and movement uncover creative imagery that can be shaped into different outcomes as drawing, writing, storytelling, sculpting.
Part of the offered practice is based on a unique research perspective relating movement processes with the knowledge of neuroscience. Touch and conscious movement are vital to our physical well-being as much as they are inevitable for mental health and developing social skills. Through experiencing attentive touch one becomes more comfortable in social interactions, improves embodied communication skills, learns to find pleasure in tactility and living in one's own skin.
The workshop is dedicated to everyone who wishes to feel more settled in their body and / or is interested in movement, performance, theatre, art, body-work, creative work or education.
Communication and translation is possible in English, Spanish, German and Polish!
No pre-knowledge necessary - just bring yourself, comfortable clothes and your curiosity!
