Consciousness Through Movement: Tools for Self-Knowledge and the Search for Individual Singularity
Overview
Experiential workshop: conscious movement and self-perception. The idea of singularity is generally used to describe physical traits and behaviors of human beings that differ from what is considered standard. In many ways, today's global society tends to erase the potential singularities each individual could develop. As a result, we often display similar traits, behaviors, thoughts, traditions, and ways of reasoning, even while living thousands of kilometers apart. The body can be a tool for expressing singularity, a territory where individuality has room to manifest and coexist. The more consciously you move, the more you learn about your own movement, and the more you refine your perception of yourself and others.
