The Great Invisible

About

An ethics of care directs our attention to the need for responsiveness in relationships - paying attention, listening, responding' (Carol Gilligan). 

A workshop exploring the sensory shifting of attention in care relations, using exercises which draw on movement and performance practices. You are invited to come and take part; to explore, support and witness each others perceptions and experiences of care in an open shared space. Over the four hours Katherine and Hamish will guide everyone through movement exercises, holding a space to explore questions like 'what can performing care look like?' and 'how do we give, take, disperse attention?'

Katherine Hall is a Bristol based dance-maker who creates performance through using movement and text improvisation practices, initiated by a feeling, a vision, a protest, a light joy, a balancing, being with movement or in movement. Her previous solo work Fill in the___ explored people’s experiences and perceptions of time to consider how we ‘manage’ relationships with others. Katherine is now looking at shapes and actions of caring to develop a new choreographic performance supported by Theatre Bristol, Dance4, Arts Council England.
