This three-week hands-on course will introduce participants to the pedagogy of Embodied Space.

Through exercises and provocations, we will explore the relationship between our bodies and the space we inhabit. We will look at and play with the most fundamental relationship between a human being and its surroundings. This relationship forms the foundation of any creative process.

Although offered online on Zoom, there is nothing two dimensional about this course and participants will work hands-on under Aurelian’s guidance and be provoked with exercises to open their eyes and minds and reconnect to the space they inhabit in a refreshed way.

No previous experience is required, and the sessions are open to any creator in performing arts, visual arts or any field of design (i.e. Architecture).

This course will require some basic tools and materials - see the list here: https://www.clodensemble.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Embodying-Space-Clod-%E2%80%93-Participants-Info.pdf
