OBJECTIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We attempt to smash colonial structures that have been imposed upon the body to \u201ccivilize you\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a group, we will discover the body’s built in modalities for learning and experiencing the world that have been silenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body will be given the space, energy, and love to return to its natural state of observation and desire to pursue our dreams and curiosities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONTENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A daily inquisition into thought-provoking collective colonial histories will be explored \u2014 with intersections of the historical record, cultural centring and somatic knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will identify and attempt to awaken areas of the body that have been silenced during the process of our collective industrialization. We will be exploring how the world of our bodies’ forgotten and undesirable abilities, is exhilarating, liberating and empowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With exercises that are designed to explore our collective human-cultural antiquity, we will at times stretch, breathe, look, meditate, sing, scream, sweat, be still, travel deep into the psyche, feel, create and choreograph, improvise, and remember. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will always be attempting to remember who we are, Who we want to be, and How we got here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-award nominated, winner and loser, Artist B. Solomon<\/strong><\/a> (Anishinaabe niini \/ Irish settler) was born and raised on the land in Shebahonaning of the North Channel of Lake Huron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a creator, his work is multidisciplinary, highly expressive, and full of spirit. His commissions have ranged from community-rooted works with over 40 interpreters, solos in trees, to animated installations of landfills. His works have been presented and toured across Turtle Island and many nations abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since he was a teenager, much of Solomon\u2019s work has focused on activating communities, especially those that are unacknowledged and underserved, as well as the land. He is passionate about helping people rediscover the nature of their ancient bodies and reclaim the space those bodies occupy as caretakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This workshop opened my eyes to the colonization of our bodies and movement practices. It invites me to rethink my practice to go beyond this phenomenon, with the tools that B. Solomon has offered us. <\/p>\n\u2014 Lulu<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
