somatic costume and performance

How does what we wear affect

how we move and perceive

and what we create and perform?

As part of Sally’s current research into Somatic Movement and Costume, these workshops and classes invite participants to wear, move and create in costumes that generate specific body-mind experiences. Costumes act in a similar way to ‘touch’ – becoming ‘portals of perception’. The costumes will not only awaken sensory experiences, heightening our awareness, but it will also fuel our creativity and imagination – bringing participants into the territory of improvisation and performance.

Musician Esbjörn Wettermark will perform live music somatically supporting and informing the ‘Somatic Costumes’ and the improvisations that emerge. Costumes used in these workshops have been created and designed in collaboration with Sandra Arroniz Lacunza and Carolina Rieckhof.
