Join Aaron Birk for an afternoon of illustration and dance! Let’s dilate our awareness to describe a curving spine, a floating pelvis, an arching rib, or a supporting limb, all with soft lines of charcoal and sweeping strokes of ink. Let’s dissolve our analytical mind and harness the power of gesture — to draw as an embodied witness.In this 6 hour workshop we will draw and dance. Playing with Contact Improv scores, we’ll move in relationship — to ourselves, to one another, and to gravity. Working with the lens of The Axis Syllabus, we’ll take time to ‘unfold the map,’ exploring the connectivity of our bones, joints and ligaments; spiraling through the space, and unlocking the gentle, curving pathways of our body’s design. Working with charcoal and ink, we’ll practice ‘gesture studies,’ or quick, reflexive drawings that capture the essence of a body in motion.
Let’s slow down. Let’s expand, rest and witness. Let’s move in ways that nurture the body.
All art materials will be provided. Everyone will have an opportunity to draw and to be drawn. All skill levels are welcome. Just bring yourself and a potluck dish to share.
