In dialogue with IMT Gallery’s group exhibition, 'The House', 'Seeing Art With The Whole Body' is a movement workshop that invites participants to explore how to listen and receive an artist's artwork and world through the three-dimensionality of our sensory bodies, moving away from an ocular-centred understanding of engaging with art.
Led by movement artist and somatic practitioner Claire Loussouarn, the workshop asks: how can we engage the whole range of our sensory machine when we come into contact with art and, in doing so, reclaim the full ability of our bodies to feel and express themselves in response?
As well as exploring different ways of entering the artworks through movement and spatial awareness, we will attend to how bodies cross thresholds between private and public space, between being unseen and being on display, between dwelling and exhibition.
No previous movement experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
