Based on the quote from the Frenchman Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier, considered the father of chemistry, that "nothing is lost, everything is transformed", Cosima Opartan / von Bülove and Paula Dunker propose a performative workshop that relies on the beneficial power of sound accompanied by physical commitment.

The two artists and active entities in the local clubbing scene believe that letting ourselves be affected by certain frequencies in listening to music on loud sound systems while moving along together in the same time and space is conducive to the feeling of community as well as the idea of perpetuity.

They invite you to two hours of carefully selected music and sound accompanied by guided body practices to feel, soothe, and connect with the body.

Setting intentions, centering exercises & contemporary dance practices accompanied by an auditory set with healing qualities become a collective ritual against loss, for transformation.

In Ancient Greece it was thought that music is in a mathematical relationship with the cosmos. Maniacal patients were being prescribed the sound of the flute as the dulcimer was to help the depressed ones. The Greeks were yet again the first ones to use music in curing the hangover. Plato: "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” As in many other cultures, dances in Ancient Greece were fundamental elements of everyday life. They told stories, cheered and modeled processions and key moments in rituals.

In 16th century England a story that was imported from Italy stated that one could be healed from the tarantula bite if a musician would write the proper tune. Thus the patient would dance the poison out of their body. "Tarantismo" is a term that appeared in medieval Italy that describes an unstoppable impulse to dance the dance that defeats death. The bite of the tarantula was used as a metaphor to describe any sort of life crisis but especially lovesickness. 

Nowadays the impact of music on the bioelectrical brain activity is widely demonstrated. Accompanied by specific substances, music is thus used in clinical therapeutical settings or informal ones in order to cure or alleviate depression, chronic affections or psychological disorders. Together with specific body movements facilitating the elimination of stress hormones from the body.

Scrisul are propriile reguli, insa mie mereu mi-a facut placere sa le incalc, nu neaparat plasind o virgula subversiva intre subiect si predicat. Voi vorbi putin in cadrul workshopului despre regulile importante ale scrisului, asa cu apar ele in manualul de Creative Writing de la Cambridge.

Apoi despre cum ne gasim subiectele de scris sau cum ne gasesc ele pe noi, caci, uneori, oricit ne-am ascunde, subiectele de scris tot ne gasesc. Hey, te-am gasit, sorry, acum trebuie sa ma scrii!

Love and Loss are experienced at a personal level as often as through the others. We will start with a round of QnA regarding 'attachment' and how to navigate through loss when intense attachment has been involved . In this workshop, with the help of some yogic breathing techniques and meditation; we will learn simpler, healthier, and easier ways to return to ourselves in times of loss, anxiety, stress, and grief. 

Some Yogic tips will be shared that can be easily incorporated in daily routines. In a nutshell, this workshop will be about how to stay connected to ourselves in the times of sensory distractions and that of crises.

Fiecare dintre noi purtam o amprenta emotionala unica si subiectiva. Modul in care astazi ne raportam la suferinta si pierdere, nu reprezinta altceva decat expresia acestei amprente unice, formata in stransa legatura cu relatia pe care o avem cu parintii, rolul atribuit in familie si subconstientul colectiv a tot ceea ce au experimentat stramosii nostri. 

In cadrul workshop-ului nostru, vom descoperi impreuna care este aceasta amprenta, ce spune despre noi si despre vietile noastre, dar si cum putem face fata mai bine suferintelor si pierderilor. 

Pe parcursul celor doua ore de workshop:

• Vom constientiza tiparele emotionale si mecanismele de coping pe care le-am dezvoltat de-a lungul vietii sau pe care le-am imprumutat din familie

• Vom descoperi care este sensul evenimentelor din viata noastra

• Vom identifica ce avem, ce stim si ce putem face in situatiile de suferinta si pierdere

La finalul workshop-ului fiecare dintre noi vom pleca acasa cu un ghid despre amprenta unica si personala, despre cine suntem, ce e semnificativ pentru noi, cum iubim, cum suferim si ce tip de atasament si relatii avem nevoie sa dezvoltam in viata.

Workshop-ul va fi precedat si de o ora de atelier practic, in cadrul caruia vom simboliza impreuna suferinta si pierderea prin construirea unor obiecte totem pe care aveti posibilitatea de a le pastra sau de a le include in expozitie.

*Sustinut in Limba Romana / Held in Romanian
