15:00 - 16:30 UTC
At this moment of isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been forced to consider the scale of time in ways that are new and challenging. It’s apparent that we are with ourselves more than ever. The absence of togetherness and our social pause means that our body matter is more often acknowledged on screen than in the flesh — this creates disparate understandings of the pace of our lives. Digital communication can leave one feeling fragmented. To overcome our new pixelated identity, we need to sigh, see, hold, take in air, and trace with our tongues. With the Body is a workshop experience comprised of breathing technique, core centring, and movement meditation. The class additionally considers compositional elements from Overlie, Bogart and Landau’s Viewpoints. This preparatory somatic practice aims to encourage makers to create with a greater awareness of their bodies. Let’s wake up the physical self, so that we can enter into our work feeling attuned to our surroundings and embodied in our conversations. If we stop taking note of our bodies in space and time — and in relationship to others, we will falter.

WRITING VOICING
A WORKSHOP WITH
LYNN BOOK
SATURDAY, 30 Jan + SUNDAY, 31 JAN 2021
15:00 - 20:00 UTC
This short intensive proposes voice as a medium through which fresh, expansive writing canoccur – and in turn, the start of a practice for unexpected vocal experimentation to arise. By according voice an equal power in the production of meaning, we open ourselves up to a field of signification that can exceed the economy of dominant forms of language including public discourse, twitter feed, academic-speak.
For many of us, voice has precious little life outside of ever-rationalizing, often rhetorical speech acts. The burden of ‘making sense’ in writing and speaking can limit imagination. When the voicing body is engaged, a new exploratory play surfaces to challenge familiar rules and roles for words and meaning. If voice is a primary agent of desire’s body, dislocating from the abstractions of mind-bound states and language-centric orientation is a necessary recovery.
The aims of the intensive are to unfold polarities between inquiry and action, text and body, voice and its compact with power. The means will be direct: physical experimentation with voicing and writing when we gather online, amplified by individual investigations in between our meeting times. Select readings will lend credence and currency to the project, around which discussion and experimentation propel us further.

SITUATION-CREATION:
RESEARCH WRITING IN THE PRESENT
A LECTURE BY ANNA GIBBS
Anna Gibbs: “The Inadequacy of Language: Still Life After Cézanne”
SATURDAY, 30 JAN 2021
22:00 - 23:00 UTC
To write is to bring a present alive. To write is to create a new situation. To write is to conjure a relational magic, for each new situation entails a new organisation of relations. A situation might be material, affective, political or conceptual. The methods of situation-creation might involve remembering, storying, rearranging, imagining and dreaming its relational magic into being, but they are above all experimental, and experimentalism is always an embodied project. Here we explore story and non-story as two crucial trajectories in the embodied, experimental ethos of research writing today.

VOICE AND ITS BODIES:
DERANGING AS PROPOSITION
A PERFORMATIVE TALK BY LYNN BOOK
SUNDAY, 31 JAN 2021
20:00 - 20:30 UTC
The procedural practice of a voicing body invites collision at the crossroads of the familiar and the unpredictable. Restless undercurrents of desire impel us to be free even while fearing what freedom might bring. Agitated by an ecstatic delirium, haunted by fevers of possibility, this radically wayward guide performs an expeditionary entreaty towards new political imaginaries by way of derangement – as method, as necessity.
