Moving Ecologies Summer School
Explore intersections between embodied practice and environment-based creative arts enquiry through movement workshops and reflexive writing.
Join us for the inaugural Moving Ecologies Summer School, facilitated by the Creative Practice and Embodied Knowledges Research Group (CPEK).
Over two days you’ll take part in an immersive, experimental, and informative learning experience, exploring intersections between embodied practice, deep ecology, somatic screendance, feminist new materialisms, and environment-based creative arts enquiry.
You’ll take part in:
- Movement practice outside and inside the studio
- Walking art practice and mark making
- Embodied mapping – capturing movement responses through creative cartography
- Creative writing responses to practical enquiry
- Theoretical lectures and discussions.
Set in the beautiful grounds of our Newton Park campus, close to the UNESCO Heritage City of Bath, the Summer School will include site-based workshops, reflexive writing and mark making, classroom-based discussion, and time for socialising.
Moving Ecologies Summer School is open to artists, researchers, scholars, practitioners and the public interested in embodied approaches to human-nature space enquiry. No previous movement experience is required – just a curiosity about the body and embodied knowledge as a mode of exploring human-nonhuman environment relations.
This course takes place Monday 15 June, 2pm – 5pm and Tuesday 16 June, 9:30am – 4pm.
