Edens Cave / Forest Workshop Experimental Art a Time of Crisis

This was an exciting workshop exploring movemnet and improvisation responding to our intuitive sense.

Initially, we each walked and moved in the theatre space of the House. We progressively started to notice each other and interact with each other. No contact. gradually increasing the lenght of time of the interaction.

The second part was to work with a partner. I teamed up with Dy a PHD student. The exercise was to each hold the end of a stick and by turn, with improvised movents lead the other. Dy is a chinese traditional dancer and began moving freely I followed and we each added more and more to our dance. It was very exhilarating and physical. To finish this exercise we continued without the stick.

Next with another partner. I worked with Gin. We were to lay on the floor and place to objects, a stone and a feather for the other to stand moving in such a way as to stand with the object in place. Tricky

We then moved on to voice. We made sound from the so called 'Vocal Resonnators'

The areas we explored were. Lower belly; composting, pleasure earth. Solar Plexus; Power , Heart; To nurture, to recieve love, to give love. Eyes; Higher pitch sounds. We observed the sounds we made from each area of the body with different intentions.
