Grounded on the innovative work of the Halprins, the workshop will introduce an approach to movement /dance and the expressive arts that enlivens dialogues between body and imagination, life experiences and art making, creativity and healing.
Through the use of movement, drawing, poetic writing, improvisational performance, and ritual, you will tap into art’s symbolic language to encounter and explore your personal mythology, generating new resources to apply in your personal and professional life.
Throughout each day, you will be guided to explore your personal material through an interdisciplinary model that integrates movement/dance, visual art, and poetic narrative, opening doorways of insight, creativity, and play.
You will be guided in movement exercises and explorations to develop somatic awareness and the expressive language of the physical body. Daria will introduce the Self Portrait Process and Body Part Mapping – visual and narrative maps will lead you into the themes and memories that inform your life.
Over the course of the workshop, through group interaction and collaboration, we will form a community for healing art and ritual. Participants will leave having made meaningful connections with others and having learned models that generate creativity, insight, and transformation.
