What to Expect

What was the last thing you remember smelling or tasting? Grounded is a movement-based workshop that draws on prompts from nature and the environment to deepen our awareness of our bodies and their surroundings. In this workshop, participants work with movement, memory and sensorial perception as they explore the exhibition, The Elemental You. Participants playfully explore the uneven terrain that is at the heart of the installation 5.4-3-2-1, rediscovering forgotten relationships to gravity, stability and balance.

What you need to carry

Wear comfortable clothing that you can move in. No previous movement experience is required.
