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.
