This July, Yoojin Lee and I are running a movement workshop as part of Bubbling, YDP gallery’s summer festival in London. The festival celebrates embodied practices in their various forms and the ways micro-actions can catalyse personal and social change. Small soft weights – made of compost-dyed fabrics filled with compost – are our starting point for group explorations around holding and sharing weight, giving way, and following compost as a guide. More info and free registration is here.
Building on our ongoing collaboration, Maike Hemmers and I are running a series of workshops called ‘This Deep, Between Us,’ in Rotterdam this May. Together, we’ll explore our relationship to life and death through movement and spatial drawing. We’re bringing together my practice in movement improvisation and Worldwork – Processwork’s systemic, embodied method for working with groups and relational dynamics – and Maike’s development of drawing scores, informed by Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed and the workshop series The Folded Door. More details here.
As part of Circular Economy Week 2025, on 22nd October, I’ll be co-facilitating an interactive group process session with Andrea Carr, exploring the edges, blocks, and pathways on the journey toward a circular economy. More info and free registration can be found here.
Andrea Carr and I are co-facilitating another interactive group process as part of the Antiuniversity Festival in London on Wednesday, 15th October. During our bring it to the table session, we’ll introduce key Processwork concepts and create space to explore themes that matter to us as cultural and social change practitioners. The event will take place at House of Annetta and is free and open to anyone interested in arts, creativity, social change, and group exploration.
I’ll be teaching Morning Class as part of the Independent Dance programme at Siobhan Davies Sudios tomorrow. After years of participating in ID classes, which introduced me to many diverse forms of movement improvisation, it feels special to have the chance to offer my Symptom Scores research in this setting. More info is here.
This coming Thursday 13th March, dancer and writer Carolyn Roy and I are co-hosting Touching Words at Chisenhale Dance Space in London. Combining our shared interests in collective practices and divergent forms of knowing, we’re offering a space with prompts to touch, move, recompose, and encounter words together. We’ll explore our tactile relationship to language, experimenting with what writing is and can be, and finish with creating a collaborative zine. More info and sign-up is here.
I’m offering a workshop again as part of Antiuniversity Festival 2024. One of my curiosities with the Symptom Scores project is how it invites different ways of ‘reading through the body’, opening up forms of sense-making and knowledge-sharing, with symptoms as our teachers. What happens when we take our body’s experiences seriously as sources of knowing? What supports and stops us from doing this more? The workshop will be hosted at SET Social in Peckham, Wednesday 16th October at 14:00 – 18:00. For more information and to sign-up, click here.
I’m passing through Zürich in September and was invited by Maja Renn to offer Symptom Scores while there. The workshop takes place on Wednesday 18th September at Rote Fabrik, 13:30 – 17:00. Participation is free (donations are welcome) and spaces are limited. To reserve a place, email: info@bewegendekunstformen.ch
Next week I’m running a free workshop at Chisenhale Dance Space, sharing my Symptom Scores practice to explore symptoms as creative ‘dreaming’ material. Drawing on art, somatics, and facilitation approach Processwork, we’ll use drawing, imagining and improvised movement exercises to play with the choreographic potentials of the practice. Sign-up here.
Together with Andrea Carr, I’m co-facilitating an interactive ‘group process’ as part of the Antiuniversity Open Day in London next Saturday 4th May. Antiuniversity is a collaborative experiment with an ongoing programme of self organised radical learning and mutual education events. With bring it to the table we’re offering a space to learn about key concepts from Processwork, question together what excites and bugs us in the cultural sector, and explore how to connect and imagine anew. The session is free and open to anyone interested in the arts, creativity, social change and group exploration.
