About this course

Draw in g into movement; movement into pai n ting; writing into movement; moving into writing.

Course Description

This workshop will encompass a practical engagement with your tutor's approach to movement/the body in relationship to materials and making of performance work, sculpture and mark-making.

You will explore working between mediums of movement (from a somatic dance approach), writing and drawing - how the different encounters feed into each other.

No dance movement experience is needed, no visual arts experience needed either.
