Life/Art Process® in NATURE

The intention of this workshop is to delve into the heart of your feelings to connect you with your creative power !
Two days in nature to open yourself to sensations and return to the here and now.
The aim is to ground yourself to make your strengths and vulnerabilities visible.

I draw inspiration from the tools shared with me by Anna Halprin to collectively experience a creative process. The approach is both physical and artistic, incorporating life stories and themes. When we are connected to the body, the heart, and the imagination, creativity flows naturally !

During this workshop, I want to explore how the physical state can support the individual within the group, fostering greater boldness, opening intuition, and following one's instincts. How does this then generate a collective energy for creation ?

The workshop will include :

- Somatic education : deepening body awareness and grounding presence, discovering anatomy in motion, playing with it, feeling, and then stimulating creativity and expressing one's essence.

- Improvisation activates spontaneity, frees the mind, and stimulates immediate invention through the intermodality of the arts to explore the material of expression : dance, voice, and writing as support for the expressive body.

- Interrelation with nature as a playground ! Alone, in pairs, in groups : we will experience embodied scores of Ritual Art. Performance is experienced here as an embodiment of our harvests.

This combination of somatics, art, and play opens onto a state of presence to oneself, to others, and by extension, to stage presence.

ON THE PROGRAM :

- Recharge, breathe, feel your body in motion, release tension
- Stimulate and unleash vitality
- Observe the environment, feel the connection to the earth, listen to your inner and outer worlds
- Connect with your intuition
- Play, create, alone and together

You WILL LEAVE with :
- A connection between your physical body, your emotions, and your thoughts
- Tools to listen to your intuition
- Ingredients to stimulate your boldness and creativity
- A restored connection to genuine childlike curiosity
- A deep connection with nature and your own inner nature.

What inspires me in my dance teaching :
My experiences in contemporary dance and my performance practices in nature,
my background in Life/Art Process® transmitted by Anna Halprin,
my experience as a performer with Marina Abramovic (London, 2023),
Healing Tao® and Thai massage® for somatic work,
shamanic practices gleaned from Latin America, Asia, and Africa, which form my toolbox for entering states of being open to creation,
psychomagic when it intersects with art ; I am deeply inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky.
