Mapping the Unseen: Movement as Another Way of Seeing

Inspired by the artwork and landscape that shape this exhibition, this all-levels workshop explores how attention transforms the way we experience art, space, and ourselves. Through guided movement, walking explorations, and a simple movement phrase, participants will discover how body, observation, and environment inform one another.

No dance experience is necessary, only curiosity and a willingness to notice, explore, and connect. We'll conclude with a shared conversation about how movement can deepen the way we see and experience the world around us.

Tennis shoes that are comfortable for movement are recommended.

Inspirado por “a lo largo de los altos terraplenes” y el terreno que influye esta exhibición, este programa de todo nivel es una exploración de cómo la atención transforma nuestra experiencia del arte, el espacio, nuestros cuerpos. En movimiento guiado, exploraciones a pie, y una simple frase de movimiento, los participantes descubrirán cómo el cuerpo, la observación, y el ambiente se informan el uno al otro.

No se requiere experiencia de baile, solo la curiosidad y la voluntad de notar, explorar, y conectar. Zapatos de tenis cómodos son recomendados.

El evento concluye con una conversación en grupo acerca del movimiento y cómo puede cambiar la manera que vemos el mundo alrededor de nosotros.

Entrada libre y abierta al público. Este evento es presentado como parte de programación de The Bunker.
