Re:thinking the body

MAS X Antwerp Queer Arts Festival

Wondering what happens when you use your body differently than you are used to? In this workshop, visual artist Laura Boser uses improvisation and listening exercises to challenge you to look at the hierarchy of your body parts differently. 

This movement workshop is inspired by marine invertebrates (especially jellyfish, amoebas and octopuses) and Sara Ahmed's Queer Phenomenology. In it, Ahmed explores how individuals navigate space, examining the lived experiences of queer bodies. How can we arrive at an (inner) image of the human body that is different from a being dominated mainly by the head? Laura uses somatic improvisation, partner work, listening exercises and the activation of our sense of touch to question the hierarchy of our body parts and explore what it is like to move in space differently than we are used to. All bodies, genders and levels of experience are welcome.
