About event
A workshop for dancers and artists exploring the relation between body and art by Milos Sejn and Frank van de Ven.
Since 1995 Milos Sejn and Frank van de Ven have co-operated in their interdisciplinary open air Body-Site-Exploration projects in various National Reserves in the Czech Republic (Kokorin Valley, Plasy Monastery, Bohemian Karst and Bechyne Monastery and the Luznice River) known as the Bohemiae Rosa Project.
The body is a landscape in itself moving within the larger frame of the given surrounding environment. The vertical and horizontal layering of the (historical) landscape invites us to reflect upon our own layers and connections of self and imagination.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This 2-day workshop will offer a synthesis of their work in movement and drawing and their multiple connections. Amongst others we will focus on:
The physicality of the act of drawing - drawing moving bodies and moving drawing bodies - altered physical and mental states to draw and draw from - the subject/object relation of drawer/drawn
The workshop will involve participants engaging in multiple movement and drawing explorations with the intention to expand possibilities for both drawing and performance.
