RESET / RECESS
Sat Aug 6, 2022 10:00 AM - Sun Aug 7, 2022 3:00 PM
Icebox Project Space, 19122
Description
Join The Deep Play Institute for a sensorial and relational weekend R*E*S*E*T. As we return to shared physical space, how are we leveraging the increased richness and interactivity of our environments and senses? What identities and relations are we bringing to our encounters? Could they be re-envisioned and improvised towards more playful, nourishing, and mutually liberating forms?
This weekend intensive is not the relaxing retreat of a lush spa day but an active re-calibration inside a soft blank matrix. We’ll come together in a giant empty container to experiment with ways we relate to space, sound, smell, touch, time, and sociality. We will engage in iterative exercises and games to help us question and reinvent our ways of being within and between our bodies. Our “interfaces” will be movement, emptiness, trust, caution, voice, story, sound, darkness, attention, focus.
Our facilitators will draw on their expertise in: Internal Family Systems, Contact Improvisation, Circling, Authentic Relating, Nonviolent Communication, Psychodrama, Theater of the Oppressed, Existential Games, Somatic Awareness, Nancy Stark Smith’s Underscore and Pauline Oliveros scores.
Sample activities: exploring the space blindfolded, psychodrama vignettes, mapping parts of self, mythic imagining, napping, chanting, humming, collective dreaming, sharing weight very slowly, role play, chance procedures, grounding practices.
