Embodying our Power
In this workshop we will explore, contemplate and embody counterpower through our voices and bodies. Through Briana Stuart's movement practice in percussive dance (notably Stepping), rhythm and movement, participants will get in touch with the innate potential and force of their own bodies and explore what it means to be present, take up space, and reclaim one's voice. Participants will be invited into healing practices that work with the body and voice, connect them to those around them, and empower us all to deconstruct power from the inside out.
• Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Briana Ashley Stuart is a performing artist, dancer and choreographer. In her artistic work, she is interested in audience interaction, philosophy and how the history and culture of art forms are directly linked to the human condition and expression. She presented her latest work Moving Meditations, a multidisciplinary work about healing at KVS in March 2023, which was the first step in her research into percussive dance and movement and sound in space. More about her artistic interests and works can be seen in her introspective dance lecture "Stepping: Freedom in Form" produced by the BOZAR museum in Brussels, and more recently her dance lecture "How to Unveil the Secret Power of Movement and Sound to Create" at TEDxBrussels in May 2023.
Open to all.
