About
About The Conductor:Diya is an independent movement artist based in India. Her primary practices have been
movement centred - Contemporary Dance, Kalaripayattu, Partner work, massage, Yoga,
Kathak, and Jazz Ballet among others. These interact with her animist practice, research on
touch and intimacy, and her love for writing, to name a few areas of interest. Her muse is the
people around her and the spaces between us. With intense connection and vulnerability
comes intense fear, nakedness, and resistance. Through experiential learning, it has come
to her that everything that happens around oneself is also taking place within. While this can
be terrifying, it also is empowering. As an artist, in this very moment, she sees her function
as that of the one listening and witnessing. To listen to what is needed is work, a labour that
she is committed to doing and inviting others to join in.
About The Programme:
Using movement and writing to archive and deeply sense self.
● The workshop will invite participants to open up spaces within themselves and witness
those findings with attention and safety.
● We will open and enter these embodied spaces through movement and awareness
● We will connect with the four elements that make us, in a simple ritual. Through this,
we will delve into and locate the transitory and deep self.
● The words that emerge will be constantly put down and perhaps shared to archive for
ourselves where in this intangible territory we are located and what is on offer.
● Witnessing and sharing will be another way in which we honor the voice of the flesh
that speaks to us and within us at this time.
