Somatic Extended Drawing
The goal is to immerse in the somatically poetic conversation between bodies and materials by mutually observing, sensing, and listening to them.
This practice of expanded embodied drawing is a unique, sensuous way of integrating multisensory body presence into the process. It involves interactions of materials, surfaces, and participants. This somatic drawing is a way of listening and becoming ‘other’ through engagement through the affective being as and with materials of the world.
Living Diary, a sharing practice by Erika Tsimbrovsky at A Gathering of Language-based Artistic Research Zentrum Fokus Forschung University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austria, influenced this session.
