Abstract
In this movement workshop you will be guided through a series of embodied experiences
exploring our elementality as air, water and rock. Please have to hand a small rock, pebble or
fossil to explore, connect to and move with. The work supports us to tune into our energetic
aliveness and encourages a questioning of the social imagination of rock as something
static, lifeless and separate from us. The practice will be contextualised through a brief
presentation referencing how my practice research project Living Stone is engaging with
concepts of earth, energy, materiality, life/non-life, and intra-being. No previous dance/
movement experience necessary. Living Stone investigates how durational improvised dance
can help us make sense of the immensity and rhythms of geological time through developing
an embodied sense that we carry deep time within us. Informed by eco-somatic practice,
deep ecology, geology and philosophy, the practice explores the figurations living stone,
living fossils and deep time bodies. To date, the project has encompassed three Deep Time
Walks, a participatory project, and three performances at the Great North Museum Hancock
responding to the museums Frosterley Marble, Fossil Stories Gallery, and working with bones,
rocks and fossils from their handling collection.
