The workshop invites participants to explore embodied and performative approaches as research and design tools to engage with the complexity of human-made systems and interrelations that are often rendered invisible. Through the lens of kinaesthetic empathy, we will use the body as a medium for research, action, and reflection. We will examine how the body mediates between diametric spaces, such as the political and personal, or the collective and individual. Participants will engage in guided movement scores, awareness exercises, and group investigations using sound, gesture, and spatial composition. These explorations will serve as forms of embodied research – a way to notice, map, and reframe social and material relations through the body. 

The course is experimental and experiential. Carefully guided explorations involving movement, sound, touch, and listening will be used as both tools and materials for designing practice-based interventions. Moments of reflection, mapping, writing, and collective dialogue will accompany the physical work to articulate how embodied experience informs theory and transformative practice.
