In this Walk in LePARC workshop, we will be finding ways to be together in our not knowing. Through short embodied prompts, setting shared parameters and asking questions, we will hold space for one another individually and collectively without having to use the specificity of language and without having to describe what we’re working on. It is less about looking, and more about asking yourself: how does the energy in the space propel me into my own interests? What is the effect of being in a co-working space that invites movement?
Latecomers will be admitted until 6pm, that said, the warm up will assist you in your travels. You don’t need to have a movement practice to join, this is a cross-disciplinary proposal in which people are welcome to bring something they are working on, whether a material project, writing, or music – although music might be best contained through headphones. Comfortable clothing is suggested but not necessary. Not bringing any materials, questions or desires is also a great place to begin.
Masks and physical distancing will be maintained.
