many people experience mobile phones an extension of their thoughts and bodies. depending on one’s age, access and exposure to social media, the need to consistently check one’s phone or to document one’s life through photographs can have deeply embedded neural pathways.
the long term collective and creative ramifications of these addictions are uncalculated especially within generations of children who are given unlimited access to screens. in this workshop we explore the path towards breaking these addictions within ourselves as adults: the road to this is pleasurably experienced embodiment in the present moment. in other words, somatic tools which offer participants pleasing alternatives to screens , and screen’s attendant anxiety.
in this workshop, we explore embodied strategies to “re-wire” ourselves into the present moment and embodied experiences of being alive. Proceeding from a kinesthetic perspective, we examine the effects of texting on one’s posture and anatomy. we use automatic writing and drawing exercises to imagine and reflect on what our lives can reveal as we shift our relationship with phones.
