Art of Being: The Truth

Saturdays, February 8, 15, & 22, 2025, 10 am – 12 pm CST (Hybrid: Choose either In Person or Zoom)

@ Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble, 3rd floor Loft 1650 W Foster Ave. Chicago, IL
 

We often cannot see the truth. It’s always hiding behind or underneath, and it often takes time for us to understand: why things happened; why we are feeling that way; or why others acted/are acting like that. At the same time, we also have a crucial sensitivity to feel untruthful words, untruthful (made up) facts and reasoning. Why do we feel so and how do we usually discover the truth? Or does the truth ever change? If so, how?
We will investigate how to express the truth (or untruth) through movement and possibly with other elements, and how things can transform and can be communicated over time through choreography.
The workshop includes meditation, somatic and improvisational movement exercises, writing exercises, exchanging dialogue, some readings, and creating and sharing your own movement at the end.

The workshop will take place at the 3rd floor Loft Space at Ebenezer Lutheran Church.
