EKO-SOMATICKÉ POSTUPY / PERFORMOVANIE DEKOLONIÁLNYCH EKOLÓGIÍ

This workshop proposes dances and somatic practices as forms of knowing through identification and embodiment. This type of ancestral knowledge – historically devalued in relation to rational knowledge– is activated to experience and get to know other bodies within the Western category of ‘nature’. Bodies of mountains, glaciers, estuaries, rivers, sources of water, wetlands and others are brought into dance. Through a process of Invocation, spirits are also invited to join in. 
Embodiment is proposed here as a key factor to sense/think other forms of knowledge and relating with the living world, which can go beyond the binary categories which have historically contibuted to the objectification and destruction of Earth. 

Duration: 2 hours
Directed towards visual artists, dancers and performers; as well as visual arts, dance and performance students; and we also welcome the general public.
The workshop will be conducted in English and is free of charge.
