Guy Dartnell, Martin Gent
In the frame of Winter Tanz 2019/20
Closer aims to help people re-position themselves in relationship to their creativity, enabling them to discover, strengthen & embody the paradox between their particular and universal selves. Within this people are supported to consider that what might at first seem contradictory and even ludicrous, may contain something essential that can become their touchstone. Through developing a paradoxically committed and dispassionate response to what is emerging within and around them, participants are encouraged to challenge their perceptions of self and other, inside and outside, being with and letting go of ego. Thereby Closer employs an immersive, playful and reflective process, crossing the realms of: Extended Voice work; Movement and Physical Theatre; Processwork; Fine Art Practice; Meditative and Shamanistic practice, Journaling as well as individual and group reflection.
