Anchor around the power of sharing a collective process of revealing and unearthing the ancestral connections through rituals and re-remembered collective memories, this workshop will offer hand-on tools to begin one’s ancestral research, especially in the theme of dealing with intergenerational weights.

At the first part, we will research, have conversations, and use design and concept making tools to map out the traces and shapes of our individual ancestry and interest. Then, we will experiment with improvisational/choreographing tools to find relationship between words, meanings, and abstractions, unfolding unconscious and subconscious landscapes through movements.

At the second part, we will learn and play with shibari ropes to explore the space between tension and release, as well as the boundaries of the skin. These generated words, movements and sensations can become a personal archive for further developing artistic ideas.
