About the event
This workshop explores innovative ways to create personal movement, emphasizing the space and stillness between movements within our bodies, and the process of erasing and re-creating the body through guided improvisation with nature imagery. The special focus for this workshop is working with the haunting and evocative paintings of Polish artist Beksinski, whose body of work greatly inspired Joan while collaborating with the much-respected Warsaw-based butoh artist Sylwia Hanff. Joan’s butoh practice and art are influenced by the Ohnos and Yoko Ashikawa and Atsushi Takenouchi and Tai Chi and professional gardening.
