Rise 2026: Living Landscapes Workshop Led By Lara Kramer

Living Landscapes explores relationship-building between our bodies and our environment objects and materials, textures, sound, land, and shifting felt registers that give space to forms of animacy.Activating, responding to, discovering, and listening to a multiplicity of voices sit at the heart of this workshop.Participants are invited to connect with their sensing bodies and the elements present.

Through guided experiential play, we will explore memories and future memories, notions of lineage, non-human entities, dreams, and varying states of the body.Attention will be given to sensing textures and sonic development within a context of performance and experimentation, centring our diverse agencies and capacities.Together, we will explore a personal yet rigorous approach to minimalism.Within this shifting, movinglandscapein which we find ourselves, how do we transmit our markings and intentions through heart, body, spirit, and voice? The workshop opens space for storytelling, listening, and shared reflection, offering an open-ended invitation for reciprocity.
