Description

During this participatory workshop Sophie + Kerri will share some of the approaches and practices they developed with Edna, Kyla Harris, Zuleika Lebow and Serena Morgan at the end of last year. Over the course of the morning we will talk, read, write, draw and move together utilising tools and texts as prompts with the aim of beginning a process of 'Unschooling the Body' (Bifo, 2012). By poetically, physically and psychologically bringing our awareness to questions of orientation (Ahmed, 2006), we will seek a disordering to move beyond and from pre-established paths or dominant tendencies. Asking: how do our everyday movements define our paths? And, how can moving differently together, in this space, begin to change the structures we find ourselves pushing up against?


This will be a collective and collaborative experience that Sophie + Kerri will facilitate, sharing their process of taking philosophy to the bodies archive - and developing movement from somatic and embodied modes of communication and connection in advance of their exhibition at Gallery FRANK, Guttural Living.


More information can be found here.


This workshop is open to anyone who wants to spend a little time reconnecting or exploring their insides and edges. There is by no means any expectation to 'dance' or understand any of the subjects or movement practices in advance. This is for beginners and experts or those feeling a little alienated from their bodies. It will be a kind and open space of play and discussion. We want as many bodies as possible to be accommodated, so let us know if you need any adjustments to do so.


We look forward to meeting you -

Sophie + Kerri


Other info:

Gallery FRANK has a ramp and is located on the first floor where there is a unisex accesible toilet.

There will be refreshments available throughout workshop (tea, coffee, juice, water, fruit, snacks).

Heads up! This is event is designed for adults, there will be physical movement and likely talk of sex and stuff like that.


Some themes, talking points have been derived from these texts, there is no need to read them in advance:

Ahmed, S (2006) Queer Phenomenology, Duke University Press, London

Berardi, B (2012) Erotic Uprising, or the Schooling of the Body An Interview with Franco Berardi, Willem van Weelden, Autonomy: Open! Platform for Art, Culture & the Public Domain, Online

We will provide some copies of extracts for people to take away.

Image is quite dark as it it was taken mid evening. It is of three large sheets of paper with a series of questions handwritten in thick blue felt tip pen across them. These are pinned to a window on the interior of a room. The questions ask: what orientates you? where you feel collectively orientated? how that feels? and if it is important to you? this continues across three pages with similar questions about the body, value and emotions and feelings
