Lab 5: Finding Ground through Seawater 

Wed 10th April 2024, 
9.30am-12.30pm
Elwood Canal 

Finding Ground through seawater is an invitation to investigate your sensory experience of place and time together in movement and conversation with others along the Elwood canal waterways as they flow into the bay at Elwood beach, Port Phillip Bay. We offer practices which invite you to explore your bodied relationship to water - micro-choreographic scores, which draw upon dance, choreographic practice and somatics. The practices invite opportunities to slow down to notice, to prompt imagination, to learn at different scales of dilation, and to feel through sensing and expression our human-ness in a more than human world. We will engage in creative methods of expression including sounding, moving, drawing, and photography in response to the environment.

Underpinned by the knowledge that all in the world is constantly in flow, in flux, in movement, from the cells of the body to the swell of the seas and weather in its dynamic revelations, the Worlding series hones in on this life world dance. How are we influencing the world ? How are we being influenced? How are we caring for the world? How is the world stewarding us? What more can we come to know, experience, share and tend to if we attune to our environments, our ecological body in conversation always with the ecologies of the planet?


A morning of practising together.
All welcome.
