Workshops

Agenda 2014:

You can choose from the following workshops: Intuitive painting: you start painting from your inner self and let yourself be carried away by the colours you use and the forms that emerge. You can use different materials. The beautiful surroundings and quietness of Lloc d’oci will inspire you. Every drawing or painting is an adventure  outcome is impossible to predict …. Sculpting: you choose a stone that suits you. You take a close look at the stone. What shapes do you see in the stone? What do you want to emphasise and what can go? That is entirely up to you. You will work with the stone by chipping, filing and sanding, depending on the hardness of the stone. Modelling: your hands form the clay. You can do this on the basis of a feeling, an idea, or maybe you have a form found in nature that suits you. Working with clay is so relaxing it’s  hard to stop! Pottery: You’ve probably seen a potter at work. And you wonder at the magic and the ease with which the clay moves under the hands of this craftsman or craftswoman. At Lloc d’oci you have the opportunity to experience this yourself. Theatre: Move and tell a story. Theatre is one of the oldest arts. The workshop includes: physical play, motion, presentation, warming up, improvisation, pitfalls and text handling. Singing: Do you dare to sing? Are you curious about your voice and what you are able to do with it? You will learn the basics of singing, there is room for deepening and questions. And we will sing together under the leadership of Joop van Goozen, conductor. Dancing: discover your own dance language and shape. We will awaken all our senses and experience what movement evokes in us. In the morning, we use the silence and the first sounds of nature to recognise the movement that lives deep within you. In the afternoon we will go on the road and give expression to what we encounter through  dance. We will end each day with a cheerful communal dance! Zen Meditation: The meditation week teaches you the basic principles of Zen meditation: we focus on how firmly and comfortably we sit on the pillow, analyse the breathing, examine and calm the body and mind. We use guided meditation, walking meditation (inside and outside) and meditating in nature.
