July 24th I spent a day moving and marking with groundwork pro Cardiff – facilitated by Marega Pulsar. Her energy and generosity was infectious – everyone collaborated to make the day exciting challenging and rewarding. Participants were mainly either most comfortable with dancing or drawing – and the workshop took everyone to unexpected places. I explored making marks in response to movement – a familiar activity – and moving in response to the marks of others – this was new. I had feedback about the way I used my body in movement which gave me more confidence about my ability to speak to a group through my movement – all our bodies speak – but in the performance I am planning I want to speak with intention and clarity.
What a treat to spend time with ourselves, our bodies and each other, taking time to look carefully, and move and mark in different ways. An opportunity to network and share ideas.
The images below were made out of paper and charcoal in response to sound.
