Bodily Dreams
Hearth Gallery:
Bodily Dreams Workshop with Jenny Laiwint
in association with the exhibition places where sounds turn to dreams...
This interactive workshop forges connections between bodily rhythms and feeling states and explores the ways that these can be creatively translated through movement, sound, drawing and creative visualizations. What happens to our physical rhythms when we attempt to overcome fear or enter a meditative trance? How can the interpretation of these tempos and their variations be a point of entry into movement creation, speculative storytelling and beat making?
In this workshop, participants were guided through a series of dance-based games, drawing exercises, and beat-making activities, all rooted in internal listening. Through different modes of translation, participants explored how listening to their bodies and imaginations could generate and record movement.
Held at Hearth Garage, the workshop was designed for a small group of six participants, creating an intimate and supportive environment for all skill levels. The session encouraged creative expression through movement and sound, fostering a deeper connection between internal awareness and artistic practice.
