Workshop Description
OUR INNER LANDSCAPES
In the Body Inner Landscape workshop, Melati Suryodarmo offers a transformative and artistic journey. This workshop invites participants to tap into their own unique body inner landscapes, which are influenced by personal experiences, cultural backgrounds, and history. Through a series of exercises, participants delve into the symbolism and significance of their bodies, uncovering hidden narratives and connecting with their personal directions.
Suryodarmo encourages participants to engage in processes that incorporate movement, space and time, ultimately leading to a heightened state of self-connection. Through these processes, participants gain their own power and agency as they explore the boundaries of their bodies.
Melati Suryodarmo's performance art workshop on the body inner landscape provides a space for new discovery, personal reflection and collective exploration. It offers a unique opportunity for participants to engage with their bodies as vessels of meaning and to unlock the transformative potentials.
