Morning briefing with Yael Gaathon
Questioning our concept of time and tempo
We have invited Butoh artist Yael Gaathon to give a morning briefing about the concept of time, based on her recent project; a slow 12-hour meditative performance walk during "Walking Landscapes".
The morning briefing will be in English.
PAST AND PRESENT
The concept of Yael Gaathon's meditative walk was inspired by the traditional Japanese life view which says that our everyday life exists side by side with the spirit world; that our ancestors and forebears are all moving around us. This tangible connection to the past has a profound influence on our perception of everyday life; a constant reminder that our life today is not separate from the past, but is built upon so many lives and events that came before us...
Participation (including our delicious breakfast buffet) is free, but registration required.
Remember to bring a valid corona pass.
