A movement, dance and transdisciplinary arts weekend.
This gathering is a vivid grove. It’s a place to move together; to be in stillness with the multiplicities of space, place, and self; to clarify artistic intentions; and focus your creative research. From the base of embodied movement exploration and compositional practice, earth connection, and conversations, we will listen for an emerging common field. The Art Evolution Retreat is a place for one’s own physical desires and cultural questions to fuel a shared movement forum.
We will tune and attune with the space and our bodily sensations. We will explore our connections with the environment. We will write and draw. We will experience collective imagining to support our artistry. We will work with the inextricable connection of body, earth, and poetics. We will have time for intentional, open movement. We will incorporate reflection and breathing with the places where we are.
The weekend is inspired by practices that range from Tuning Scores, Amerta Movement, creative art explorations, Taoist alchemical forms of qigong, and the vast array of movement and cultural arts. It is an opportunity to delve into the heart of the Vivid Grove: moving, learning, collective liberatory practices, and art evolution.
