FINE ARTS ROAD TRIP 2020: Virtual

This workshop is entered in a somatic-arts therapy experience as a source of renewal, regeneration, and resource for teachers of all grades. Somatic-Arts Therapies relates to a body centred approach that integrates various expressive arts mediums together (such as drawing/mark making/ painting, movement/dance/gesture, sounding/breath). Each part of the body-and every art medium-acts as micro that reflects our relationship to ourselves, to others, and our relationship to the world. Through the experience and the creative process we can resource from within, accessing the wisdom held within our moving body, through the symbolic language of the arts, and the imagination, while exploring the integration and bridging of perspectives and themes. This session will begin with a dance/movement exploration around a personal chosen theme related to the overarching theme of the conference: bridging curricula, and will continue into taking different perspectives through the shifting of expressive arts media by moving next into drawing and then reflective writing and sharing in small pods (if online breakout rooms are possible).
