Moving Entities

“ We aren’t born men or women, or boys or girls either. At birth we are a weaving of liquids, solids and gels that are, in turn, covered by a strange organ whose extension and weight is greater than any other: the skin. It is this membrane that takes care of everything it contains, showing the appearance of a single unit that we call BODY. “
── Paul B Preciado
 
Sometimes even small changes – in the way we move, breathe or present ourselves – can produce major transformations. This workshop provokes a moment of escape that frees participants to experiment with small changes in self-image, age, social position and gender and explore the effect of becoming someone else.
 
Motus’ recent shows are inspired by the desire to break down barriers of all kinds, both geographical and mental. Working collaboratively, they have created an ever-evolving community of ever-evolving bodies, ever bevolving entities. This brief workshop looks at ways of breaking down mental barriers with our bodies. The aim is to look for the critical point where transformation begins to be apparent, to take time to explore what is happening, to look at what happens once the point of transformation is crossed, and to reflect on what would happen if we moved beyond this point forever.
