movement as action: absence last saturday

Movement As Action: Creating Community

A Workshop: To bring together people of varying backgrounds to generate collective creativity as performative and social action.

As social beings, we are constantly moving together with people through space. What happens when this movement is shaped consciously? Does it become (social) action? What happens when we consider or define "community" as an attitude, rather than a demographic?

本工作坊的目的，在於集合來自不同背景的人，
來完成一個具有表演性與社會行動的集體創作。

存在於社會的我們總是與它人在空間中互動。
這種流動是有意識的被塑造出來時，是怎麼一回事？

它是一種社會行動嗎？
當我們將「社群」定義為是一種態度，
而不是人口群體時，那又會是什麼狀態呢？

absence last saturday

Hi all,

I'm really sorry that I had to miss our workshop last saturday, especially knowing how few saturdays we have left together! I unexpectedly encountered visa problems last week, and had to suddenly leave the country before my visa expired yesterday. Anywaaaaays, thank goodness Hong Kong has such a lovely airport ;)

I hope y'all had a wonderful day dancing together, I missed breathing and moving in the same space and exploring in two languages with all of you very much, and can't wait for our potluck next week!

hugs,

Lauren
