DESCRIPTION

APPLICATION

The F/ol\d is an exploration into the infinite manifestations of folding – of matter, body, mind and material. This workshop offers you another immersion into The F/OL\D.

The Plot: Palimpsest

How does movement enfold into memory – ephemeral movements that lurk at the edges of experience? The palimpsest is a porous layering of enfolded fragments – an opaque account of our historicity of the past and of the present. In this workshop, we will draw upon this powerful metaphor, unleashing its catalytic power to unearth life’s unfolding continuum. We’ll engage with movement and multimedia play, discovering the agency of the palimpsest and its potential as curator in artmaking, Together, we’ll co-create a collage, perhaps a loose narrative of motifs, patterns, images, signposts and plots, nestled within the fluid strata – at once history, her/theirstory and our/story.

Saturday and Sunday, 10^th & 11^th of July, 2021 ONLINE

 Starting time 9 am EST both days (2pm UK/Ireland, CET+1).

Fee €60 (€40 if taking only one day) due by the 20th of May (see Application details)
