This workshop invites professional dance artists to explore their relationship to the often-dismissed stresses and entangled challenges of their careers using tools of embodied listening, somatic exercises, conversations and writing prompts.
Our time together will begin with a guided practice, which invites participants to sense more deeply into their own relationship with meaning, alignment and doubt in their artistic careers. Through discussion and exercises, the workshop will offer tools and perspectives to develop a more caring and compassionate relationship with the whole of one’s experience, building more capacity for resilience and renewed energy. As body-based artists committed to social practice and change, Murielle and Tommy will connect a set of internal techniques with a larger perspective on creating change in the world and reimagining what is possible by starting with a creative and care-ful, process of inner listening.
Centering the Artist is Dance/USA’s public learning series, which advances well-being in the arts through artist-driven dialogue, reflection, and collective inquiry.
