Exploding Human Language: This workshop breaks down language-making into three components: sound, movement and mark-making. These components are used as prompts for an embodied encounter with a tree: how do we understand a tree through sound, movement and mark-making? Participants explore getting to know trees through these three frames of reference. Participants are then asked to devise a short performance that combines these three elements of encounter with a tree: a hybrid language performance that is both human and other-than human, using elements of human language-making infused with the influence of encountering these trees. Each participant will then be invited to share their individual sound, movement and mark-making tree performance, before pairing up to develop this work with others. We will end with a sharing of work and a discussion of the way in which these processes of encounter are able to deconstruct our understanding of language as the sole repository or defining feature of human being and consider to what extent our collective performances might be regarded as a form of interspecies language-making. Duration: 3hrs Participants: up to 10 Other requirements: Mobility is required either by wheels or on foot. We will be going out and about to Morden Hall Park and along the river Wandle, so wear comfortable footwear. Some experience of writing and/or performance would be beneficial - although all are welcome.  This workshop is Part 1 in a series of two workshop, Part 2 follows in the afternoon. They may be booked seperately or together.
