Symbiotic Awareness Practice

What happens when we invite other sentient beings and the natural world into our collective consciousness and body politic? Through somatic and embodied practices, Masson – together with Moss Juckes and Ela Spalding – aims for an intra-body expansion of the current paradigm of contemporary performance practice into collaboration in of ecology, politics, activism and environmentalism.

How do we convey to others that we are nature? That was the question Ela Spalding asked when we began this residency together. Throughout the course of a week and a half we explored movement, theory, biology, anatomy, mud, clay, mark making, gathering, binding, dancing, singing, cooking and hosting to find ways to express this very question together with our children and arts therapist Irina Steinbrecher.
