Art Medicine Residency - An Immersion into Ritual Performance

Art Medicine Residency - An Immersion into Ritual Performance

Welcome to the Art Medicine Residency! This in-person event happens in two different places - at the Golden Egg Centre  (12th & 13th) and at a London Park (14th).

Join us in this three-day immersion designed to awaken your body's creative process in deep relationship with nature - recognising the forces of the essential elements of life and reclaiming a language of connection with the natural world and the imaginary beings of the collective unconscious that inhabit it.

This is a laboratory for reimagining and responding to a dehumanized world shaped by systemic control — a world of mechanized thinking, where the body is domesticated and restricted, communication is steeped in violence, and digital media fosters isolation. These are bodies increasingly disconnected from the natural, from spontaneity, and from instinctive intelligence.

Ritual Performance is a creativeoffering that seeks to shatter the screens that devide us, opening poetic channels of connection through the body. It expresses the exuberence of nature, while weaving spirituality as the guiding thread that flows through the act, illuminationg the scene.

Connect with like-minded individuals, learn new techniques, and explore the intersection of art and medicine. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out or, maybe you don't work in the field but you want to awaken your body and creativity, this residency is open to all levels of experience and walks of life. Immerse yourself in a supportive and inspiring environment as you delve into the healing power of art.

What to expect:

• Develop spatial awareness as a performer, attuning to the body's relationship with space and energy.
• Open deep body channels of communication with the elements of nature, fostering a living connection.
• Create a ritualistic offering, drawing inspiration from both the external world and their own inner nature.
• Learn to transform what arises into a ceremonial act of expression.
• Craft a handmade costume using elements from nature, connecting body and environment.
• Cultivate the practice of being fully present in the moment, responding to what is needed, rather than performing a character for the audience.
