Riffing off of an action created during the embodiment exercises run by Nikhil Chopra, Madhavi Gore and Jana Prepeluh (BODYWORKSHOP) during the Performance Art Intensive. The five-day workshop "evokes performance as a means of artistic expression through a series of planned exercises. Through this an attempt will be made to break-out of what we understand as the ‘normal’ workings of the body, its automatic responses, and coded behavioral patterns. We hope to unpack ourselves, peal through the various masks we wear, with an attempt to bring us to our core. We want to use performance and its ability to transform and transcend as a means to get to this core." - BODYWORKSHOP.
Thanks to Jules for the filming; Mel, Bryony and Zoe for making it happen and to all the artists for the love.
