Access

Participants will have the opportunity to create an expressive, large scale whole body drawing, capturing the body’s movement and exploring ideas of memory, embodiment, duration and the present moment.

In this workshop, Voges invites participants to immerse themselves in her improvisational, movement-based approach to drawing. Participants are invited to experiment with drawing through gesture, dance, reach, test various materials, and collaborate with other participants to develop a large scale drawing.

Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing which they are happy to move and get dirty in.

Voges’ dance background very much informs her approach to art. Using drawing as a way to document her body’s trace, Voges seeks to capture movement and to immortalise something that is often temporary and fleeting. Voges often collaborates with dancers to create participatory performance art in galleries, films or on stage.
