Drawn from the Body: Movement & Drawing Workshop

About this event

We often think of expression as artistic skill or creative output, but in truth, everything we do is a form of expression. Our body is the first instrument through which we sense, experience, and create in the world.

In this workshop, Drawn from the Body, we will explore how movement and drawing can interact as a continuous dialogue of sensation, awareness, and creative energy.


What to expect?

• Part 1 – Movement as a field of discovery (~1.5 hrs): through playful and challenging movement tasks, from grounded explorations and delicate joint movements to partner interactions, we will invite you to sense, experiment, and learn about yourself.
• Part 2 – Drawing as continuation (~30-40 minutes): not as an afterthought, but as a flow forward, we will capture the energy, sensation, and experience on paper.
• Closing reflection (~15 min): returning to movement to carry the drawing back into the body.

The workshop is open-level: no movement or art background needed. In fact, the more varied our bodily expressions, the richer the exchange!

Hosted by Valeryia Liseichykava (founder and movement teacher at The Sensing Self) and Fenna van Breda, artist & movement practitioner.
