Body Weather – Body/Landscape: The basic training and point of departure for this workshop, Body Weather, is a comprehensive training and performance practice that investigates the intersections of bodies and their environments. Bodies are not conceived as fixed entities, but just like the weather, constantly changing through an infinite and complex system of processes occurring in and outside of these bodies. Taking Body Weather into the landscape, the aim is to explore and develop consciousness of the body itself being an ever evolving landscape within a greater surrounding landscape.

The workshop includes •physical/dance training, mental training and reflection •walking and silent wandering •multiple modes of experiencing body, movement and landscape •diverse senses of space and time •drawing, writing, mark-making and mental topographies of place •local geology, archaeology, history.

An integral part of the workshop will be individual artistic projects that participants are encouraged to formulate and work on for 1-2 hours a day. The workshop leaders are available to guide and support these processes.

Participants profile: for artists and mature students working in performance, dance, landscape art, sculpture, photography, architecture, theatre, visual arts and for those interested in walking, environment and natural history.

Selection of participants will be based on c.v. and motivation. No previous (dance) training is necessary but the workshop will be physically demanding, therefore a good overall condition is required.
