Welcome To The
Tree Skills Jam
Movement Workshop
2027 London
exploring the realms of Tree Movement Skills.
What’s Inside?
This Gathering is Centred around the many layers that Movement practices can be explored in tree scapes.
We will take inspiration from Rock climbing, arborial apes, Parkour, contact Improvisation, Acro-Yoga and Playfight to explore the many ways that we can engage with, inside and amongst trees.
This Is an opportunity to explore an innovative approach to established disciplines and a chance to push at the edges of what is previously imagined when it comes to exploring vertical and complex environments.
We will switch between two modes of learning:
Vertical - Where we offer a space to learn ideas, methods, and practices proposed by us.
Horizontal - Where we learn via collective intelligence, share embodied practice and emergent pedagogy.
The Learning Approach
Participatory Action
Transformation through direct experience.
While allowing the material to be co-creational and emergent, we will also be basing the residency off principles inspired by Contact Improvisation, Contemporary Dance, Feldenkrais Method, Arboreal Locomotion, Parkour and Martial Arts.
Witnessing Observation
Learning by seeing.
Understanding the transformative power of quiet contemplation and witnessing. Time will be spent watching and observing what is happening as an approach to integration and deeper introspection on our collective pursuit for understanding.
Reflexive Discussion
Developing shared language.
We will take time to understand the processes we have uncovered by developing shared vocabulary to talk about phenomenological experience. This will also be time to understand how our currant disciplines can be embedded into non-human made contexts.
Collective Research
Cultivating Collective Intelligence.
CoCreated Research and developmental material. How we come together with a shared intention and no leader. Everyone establishing themselves as a generative figure to move towards something emergent and collective. A pillar of this residency.
