In the Pan Era, we are 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 pauses mean 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 series of workshop experiences comprised of breathing technique, core centering, 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.

Critiquing the Critique
With Jean Marie Casbarian
Teaching assistants:
Eve Chartrand and Jake Tkacyzyk
The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic. –– Oscar Wilde
This mini-workshop is an exploration into the value of objective and subjective analysis and assessment of the critique itself. A close and holistic observation of our artwork not only expands our understanding of our creative work, practice and the audience who reacts to it, but also serves as an invaluable tool in developing a healthy relationship with criticism. This workshop aims to present a variety of critique strategies that we, as a class, will then critique. We will examine the many ways in which we might exercise our critical literacy, both in and outside of the art / literary world, as we constantly grapple with forming meaningful opinions that shape our everyday lives.
