This workshop is part of the ongoing body of research on embodied knowledge, somatic ideation, and touch theory from The (Ari) Always Human Research Group, led by artist, industrial designer, and educator Ari Elefterin.
In this workshop, you will…do exactly what the title says! Through a series of guided movements and somatic ideation exercises, we will examine the act of sitting—exploring questions of balance, gravity, support, and the body’s capacity to hold, adapt, and generate new possibilities for interaction. We will begin with a mind/body warm-up, followed by a series of somatic ideation exercises. Moving through several rounds of exploration.
