Along the Watershed
Simon Whitehead and Jennifer Monson
In this workshop we shall walk, dance and locate the watershed divide close to Earthdance. We will explore its ecology both as it resides in the movement and scale of this land and in its constant imminence in our lives. The workshop will culminate with a 24-hour dance process and fast, followed by food and a day of performance- making in response to the place and the workings of the watershed.
June 18 - 21 (NEW DATES!, Drop-In Options Available)
The Sustainable Landscape, Mycoscaping, + Liberation Ecology
Rafter Sass + Skott Kellog
This four-day participatory workshop offers the tools to start reclaiming ecological and social health - all the way from broad strategies to specific techniques. It combines the mushroom permaculture of the Mycoscaping Intensive , the technology skills of the Sustainable Landscape, building aquacultures + compost teas, and the social project design tools of Liberation Ecology. You can come for the whole 4 days, or drop-in Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
June 20 & 21
SEEDS WEEKEND Mini-Festival
This weekend mini-festival within SEEDS consists of several 3-hour long workshops. There are two themes from which to mix and match. The classes will start Friday evening and continue through Sunday mid-day. You are welcome to come for the whole weekend, or drop in, as well.
Green/Body/Local. How might somatic studies create a basis for, inform, expand, and interweave our social and environmental consciousness? These workshops address the body as investigator/mediator of issues concerning environment, ecology, sustainability, and/or social justice. With Sondra Loring + Kavitha Rao (Somatics and Sustainability), Kristin McCardle (Gettin' Your Greeny Green On), Moti Zemelman + Camille Renarhd (Pockets of Resistance), and Karl Kronin (Dry Earth).
Contact Improvisation, the Social Experiment Continues. CI, previously described as "confronting comfort culture" and "a political shock absorber," has more recently been called out for its lack of racial diversity. Where is the social experiment at today? These workshops will consider the power of the body in movement to question our social conventions/compositions/hierarchies through the practice of CI. With Neige Christenson (Freeing the Contact Mind), Kerstin Kussmaul ( The Intelligence of your Touch ) , Dan Bear Davis + Sarah Day (Corporeal Permaculture), and Dustin Haug + Tamin Totzke (Redirecting Yes).
June 21 - 28
Eco-Art for Everyday Life
Beverly Naidus
This course offers an opportunity both to learn about Eco-Arts and to develop a public project with the guidance of the facilitator. Participants will explore different ways of incorporating eco-art practices into their everyday life and their communities. We will discuss some of the ecological issues facing us both on the local and global level, look at the work of contemporary eco-artists, and develop some collaborative site-specific projects.
SEEDS PUBLIC COMMUNITY CELEBRATION:
This is a full day and evening celebration of investigations that have taken place at SEEDS. There will be performances, classes, presentations, participatory events, and other interdisciplinary surprises for all ages. You are welcome all day or for part.
