INTRODUCTION TO DISAPPEARANCE

On the study of Disappearance, generally:

The content of the inquiry is open ended from the Disappearance perspective: the what is determined by whom (is present) in relation to the site (and its objects), in a given movement period. 
 
The ground of expression will be the Disappearance method of inquiry into arising forms. Emergent content may be contextualized within seven areas of concentration: 1. Body; 2. Space; 3. Time; 4. Subject; 5. Composition; 6. Event; and 7. Appearance.

Related to the above there are questions we work with both physically and psychologically, for example:

How do I define, experientially, the Body?

What is internality vs. Externality?

What is subjectivity in relation to the body?

What is the transubjective field?

What is desire?

What is expression?

The practice consists in periods of movement and stillness, framed by a coming together to speak to what arises during these periods.

Completing an Introduction makes one eligible for the ongoing group work, including the May 17-19 Intensive Study.

To register, please contact Andrew and send a paragraph with your background in movement, somatic and/or artistic process and any psychological work that you feel may be relevant to the study of Disappearance.
