Body- Land - Art, sculpturing and performing inspired by form and feeling in the unique nature of the island Bornholm.

A different course than the common, gathering summer moods, training, creative work, life and performance in one –

The purpose is to give the individual participant the possibility of a deep study of the Body and the Nature in another way, removed from the usual pressure, in an open creative atmosphere together and in close contact with nature.  

The workshop explores the relation between Body and Landscapes and takes a focus at the intuitive and creative processes connecting personal inner sensing to the art of nature and the spirit of the aesthetically forms. It questions the western culture way of relates the nature as a metaphor instead of a life full metamorphose.

Body- and Land Art begin the day in the wonderful open studio with mediation, mindfully body work, Zen and Butoh training and continue outside in the fantastic nature.

We create Art in the Landscape inspired and touched by evolution, structures, and elements, organic and dynamic. The workshop opens up your perception and sensitivity and gives you an interesting focus at your creative resources and perspectives at nature as perfect art and you in the present moment as perfect artist in dialog with Mother Nature.
