The Body as Art
Schedule of Week:
One of our aims is for us to produce a manual of best practice for working with your body.
It is not to place limitations on your practice or your ideas, but to offer solid advice on how
best to translate ideas into art / art in its widest context.
One of our intentions is to work with 'your body' as a unique form and to go beyond the institutional approaches our bodies are often placed in.
The institutionalisation of the body often affects our ideas.
We hope to produce a wealth of material that you are able to leave with that will be of lasting value to you and your practice and hopefully others.
This is not a finite set of aims and objectives ~ But areas we are interested in exploring.
