Somatics, Scores and Sense of Embodiment
The Greek word soma means the living body referring to its physical structure and function. An introduction to a range of body mind concepts and somatic practices will activate intuition and sensitivity of the body. Using perception as a tool for empirical observation, directed touch and imagery creates an awareness of physical habits and expands the radius of movement responses towards articulate, differentiated and integrated performative actions, having their source in cultivating openness within the body. Tuning into the senses and practising visceral, embodied action will create concrete conditions for experimental aesthetic enquiry, with a special focus on cultivating compositional decision-making through somatic process.
