Body Maze: Proprioceptive Space


+Multi-media and Art Workshop

Date: 18 – 19 and 27 – 28 August, 2016

Venue: National Taiwan University of Science , Taipei, Taiwan

Tutor : Ludmila Rodrigue

 

 

 

Course Introdution

By imaginative and physical experiments, the workshop will investigate, dissect and re-invent our relationship with the immediate surroundings. We’ll experiment actions and social situations that raise physical and social awareness. Expect games, being blindfolded and being guided, moving as a swarm, etc. We’ll use the simple act of walking as our main mode of relating to the world.
