27.09. entangled encounters: moving with waterbodies

ecosomatics, movement and writing research labs.

In this series of outdoor labs, we meet and are moved by other forms of life such as plants, wild animals, fungi. Guided by ecosomatic
practices, we develop observation and witnessing skills- a deep-time, present being-with.

These encounters inform both our movement and writing practices, leading us into a web of creative interconnectedness. From our experiences we gather emergent knowledge and ferment principles for relating with the more-than-human world through collective composition and exchange. A holistic research that encompasses self-discovery, exploration of perspectives and words, collective intelligence and regeneration, as well as cultural transformation by experiencing entanglement.

long-distance mycelium: ongoing online program

This online program gives you access to audio recordings of somatic and movement practices, creative scores and reflective questions, that you can practice anytime, anywhere!

The topic for the fall season (September- November) is grounding poetries: Yielding, grounding and rooting – composing and composting movements – layers and entanglements of being – nutrients – community – co-creative poetries

The topic for the winter season (December-February) is regenerative poetries: Regenerative principles – bones & breath – stillness as movement – attunement to the animal body – deep rest – care – poetries of simplicity

In addition, we will feed our mycelium of practice at our seasonal online gatherings across all kinds of landscapes to collect emergent knowledge and ferment principles for relating with the more-than-human world through collective practice, composition and exchange.

Dates & times: ongoing & self-paced;
30.11., 18:00-19:30 online gathering for grounding poetries

re_creative playground

to_gæther is an experimental space to move, play, process, (co-)create, recharge in community. It’s a queerfeminist research into creating and navigating space for collective re_generation.

After a short intro and guided somatic arrival, we are free to explore and move between improvisational zones for dancing/playing, drawing/painting, writing/text, and resting, on our own and in emerging constellations –
following our curiosities and needs, embodying our agency, embracing the mess, in a held container.

Let’s re_generate & experiment together_ness!

when: TBA

where: careful collisions collective space (west/post, Schumangasse 101, 1170 Vienna, 2nd floor without elevator)

costs: 10-25 € sliding scale

bring: comfy clothes, snacks, water bottle

how: no prior experience & registration necessary, cash only
