Sitting With The Body / PARADE - Installing Ourselves (workshop and intervention: no prior knowledge required!)

Lab & Lecture mit Heike Langsdorf

A first instruction for a person who practices yoga, says: go find a place where you can be undisturbed! Does this mean to search for absolute silence or a place where nobody else can come? Does it mean to be protected from cold, heat, dirt and wind? Or is the first thing to do, finding out what disturbance does mean for us?
A two day workshop, followed by an intervention explores in which conditions one can act 'undisturbed'. Is there something like an ideal place? How can we deal with less ideal spaces instead of avoiding them?

"Sitting With The Body" is a three day undertaking (6, 7, 8 November 2015) for at least 10 people: a two day physical-mental preparation (Friday, Saturday) is leading to a an intervention on Sunday in the semi-public space.

Preparing workshop (Friday, Saturday)
introduction / body practices
- how can we apply them artistically?
Body practices / a.o. Sitting With The Body (Zazen) / Looking for places
- what do I need in order to remain concentrated during 60 minutes on one spot?
Discrete Presence
- How can we install contemplative activities as performances?

Intervention (Sunday)
On Sunday 8 November several spots in the immediate surrounding of Tanztendenz München will be physically occupied. During a couple of hours (depending on the amount of participants min. 6 hours, max. 12 hours) people are installing themselves on the selected spots. With the help of a rotating system all spots are ideally continuously occupied.

Public
People are invited to do a parcours, departing from studio A in Tanztendenz München and along the other spots, where they can watch the installed people or settle down themselves for a while.

"Sitting With The Body / PARADE" is based on the work "Sitting With The Body 24/7 - Retreat in public space".
Our lives are governed by an economy that never sleeps. What is its impact on our relationship with time, work and our body? During "Sitting With The Body 24/7" a group of people retreated into a vacant commercial space with huge windows giving out onto the streets - executing certain actions, in full concentration, seven days in a row and around the clock. Following a strict schedule people were sitting, lying down, standing, walking, resting, making things, dancing, speaking and looking around. This single-tasking contrasted with the urban surrounding and the possible influences and disturbances, which can stem from it. People could watch all of this or enter the space and delve into action themselves.
