"…to stand on my feet, to challenge my behaviour, to commit, to breathe, to hurt, to fight, to be for or against an idea, to be stronger than I think I am…”
An opportunity to embody and practice fearlessness, resilience presence and strength. Working solo, in duets and in groups this workshop is for anyone - whether you want to experiment with new forms of self-expression, feel a little more empowered, breath more deeply, move or let go!
Through simple guided movement improvisations and explorations this workshop invites women to:
• Support each-other’s sense of unity, community & strength.
• Explore corporal self-expression, spontaneity, movement & sensory awareness
• Invigorate curiosity & re-connection with self
• Breath more consciously
The workshop will be influenced by Mirto’s ongoing interest surrounding fear and her new performance work in development called The Army, which sees women unite through a language of ‘marching drills’ in public spaces since 2016.
Anton Mirto has creates a safe environment for free expression & exploration. Intrinsically process led, her practice provides space & value to acts that release & restore.
