Sculpting Body-Images is a physical movement workshop of high intensity, shaped to challenge the known bodily patterns of each prac99oner and to bring awareness to the conscious act of seeing and perceiving the body in relation to interchangeable elements. Whether in real life or on stage, whether through the bare eye or through the lens of the camera, our body is a dynamic instrument in constant transformation.
However, in order to sculpt the form, we need to play and provoke its limits. Through the use of spa9al, temporal and physical constraints, as well as game-like situations inspired by Figh.ng Monkey Prac.ce (founded by Linda Kapetanea & Jozef Frucek) we will engage into constant movement and test our bodily structure, while pushing our corporeal limits, building up stamina and gaining agility, speed and resilience in physically demanding situations.
Sculpting Body-Images is about approaching the body from a 360° view and consciously choosing the perspective we want to present, based upon what we want to communicate with the world. How can we identify our creative skills and combine them in order to establish our own creative methodology? Sculpting Body-Images invites the participant, while keeping the body in the center of a8en9on, to integrate various interdisciplinary tools in order to find their unique ar9s9c voice and make the communication between ar9st-artwork-audience clearer and more specific.
