الحركة، العقل و الخيال مع سماء واكيم

ورشة " الحركة، العقل والخيال"

يسعدنا أن نعلن عن ورشة عمل بعنوان "الحركة، العقل والخيال" مع سماء واكيم.

مستوحاة من عرض " تباً | Losing it "، الذي أُنتج بالتعاون بين سماء واكيم وسمر حداد كينغ، تستكشف الورشة التفاعل بين الحركة الجسدية، والخيال الإبداعي، والصوت، و الصحة النفسية والعاطفية. في هذه الورشة و من خلال تمارين موجهة، يخوض المشاركون رحلة تحوّل تمزج بين الرؤية الداخلية والتعبير الخارجي، حيث تصبح الحركة لغةً للعقل، ويتجسد الخيال في شكل محسوس.
