The Art of Looking at Ourselves
At equinox as we pass into the lighter days of 2020, we're setting sail on a journey of inner discovery with world renown theatre director Iwan Brioc, creator of Sensory Labyrinth Theatre. This voyage, is a three-day participative arts process that leads to the co-creation of an installation performance, through which we explore the possibility of theatre as a source of awakening and liberation.
"Theatre is the art of looking at ourselves and is also the art of 'what if'. What if when we look deeply we can't find a self? The question then arises, who is looking?"
Iwan Brioc
Building a Sensory Portal
Through art and image making, movement and mindfulness activities, we will co-create a ‘sensory portal’. The weekend culminates in a performance, for invited friends and family to experience journeying through the portals.
Finding the inner mode of 'being'
The voyage is an opportunity to step out of time and enter a ‘being’ instead of a ‘doing’ mode. Engaging in this work helps build greater confidence, clarity, joy, peace and aspiration and the feeling of having touched something deep inside, something sustaining that was hidden in the bustle ordinary life.
Reconnecting with Other
Reacquainting with this inner strength creates a bond between people. Giving this profound experience to others through the performance allows for a deep sense of connection and feeling of boundless capacity to grow.
What to Expect
This course is an introduction to Context Oriented Arts (CoArts) and invites you to take the risk of falling awake to this miracle of being alive.
We will:
- Reconnect with the senses, awakening a feeling of ‘aliveness’ through art, image making, movement and mindfulness
- Explore through facilitated activities our relationship to self, other and the world around us
- Support each other in growth and connection
