About
Embodied Futures is a workshop that joins together somatic movement and visioning tools to examine how movement practices can shift ones relationship to the future. The workshop identifies our lived experiences (of both hope and hopelessness) as source material to re-imagine and embody tomorrows possibilities. Embodied Futures asks: given that somatic practices can be used to change ones relationship with a difficult past, how can similar techniques be used to change ones relationship to the future? How can improvised movement create a context for people to enact dreams of an imagined future?
We will work independently and together, uplifting our experiences of hopelessness into a felt sense of possibility. Using the bodys innate inclinations towards movement, imagination, and playfulness, our bodies can experience new versions of hope. All are welcome, no movement experience necessary. Participants should be prepared to sit, lay, stretch, and move your body with others.
