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?

It feels so good!

Supposedly if there are going to be a series of article posts sharing for retrospect soon after the event, I am here to steal the sofa for that.

It feels good, doesn't it? First we truly enjoyed it (perhaps a bit too much at "birding"? I admit I did.) and at the end the audience responded to it. They really did; you can feel that they did enjoy it, contrary to my silent concern earlier that they might be reserve.

"A gift to share", if we had, we did it! It feels so good for me, so much so I begin to fear if it would become addictive. Never mind that for now though, looking forward to another wonder to be enjoyed Saturday night.

Hi Everyone,

Please don’t forget that this Saturday is our very important last session!

We will be rehearsing the final piece with music, trying on costumes, and reflecting on this whole workshop process. And of course, we’ll also be drawing and eating! ;)
Please bring your white shoes so we can see how they work! For those who don’t have white shoes, we will provide info on where to buy them or a sign-up sheet for who needs them.

Those of you bringing snacks, please remember! We will need enough to last us until dinner (and….karaoke…?) !

Looking forward to seeing you!!

Hugs,
