Workshop Series 'Not Far from the Forest'
Have you ever wondered whether plants and trees have a message to share with us? Have you ever thought that we all belong to a breathing system which needs a space to continue breathing clean and fresh air?
The workshop Not Far from the Forest is a space to voice these questions and listen to the voice of the Forest within us through movement improvisation, choreography and creative writing exercises. When we will move and write, our breathing will play a crucial role in our exploration because, through our breath, we will discover how the Forest is always with us, through us.
Not Far from the Forest is inspired from the dance-theatre performance Listen to the Forest, created by Glasgow-based dancer and writer Valeria Levi. During the workshop Valeria will make the most of her practice which combines movement and writing, using movement and body where words cannot reach and playing with words to cast light upon moments when movement gets too abstract.
Valeria will be accompanied by multi-instrumentalist and composer Eloise Kretschmer who has already collaborated with Valeria in previous stages of development of the show Listen to the Forest.
At the end of the workshops we will either host a public sharing of what we have explored during our workshop or a social event to come together to discuss what we have experienced. This will be informal but an amazing opportunity to present what we have done in front of an audience and to meet people across Scotland. Anyone is welcome to these; it doesn't matter if they participated in the workshops or not.
Open level workshops. No experience in dance, movement and writing is required. Our Forest is open to everybody! The workshop at Edinburgh Deaf Festival will be run in English and BSL. To facilitate the access to sound for d/deaf participants, we will work with frequencies and vibrations.
