Saara Rei & Sven Brandy
In this workshop, we will learn techniques for processing pain, physically and emotionally, so that we can find suffering, release, and excitement while still being able to maintain awareness.
Pain can be a useful tool for recognizing physical and emotional limits, as well as an indication of a need for attention. Pain can also be stifling, forming barriers that are no longer needed. This is why it is important to stay present in our experiences and process what is going on appropriately, so that we can understand what kind of pains we are feeling, and which ones we should listen to and which ones we can learn to let go of, finding that beautiful suffering we all love so much. We will learn how we can build presence, so that we can maintain the awareness need to play consensually, even in the edgiest of situations.
We will explore what it means to play with physical and emotional impact. Physically, we will focus on teaching techniques for giving and receiving impact on different parts of the body, including the face, that encompass anatomy and safety.
