Projektbeschreibung

This is a course on body, mind, movement, space, performance, emotions, sensations, thoughts, and above all the experience of mindfulness. It's a creative, explorative, experimental course. Throughout the course, participants have engaged in activities and projects in which they discover and experience methods of "connecting" to their own mind+bodies and the world they perceive within and outside. They improvised, created, and reimagined theories in practice.

During the semester students have created a body of work consisting of weekly projects. Every week a topic related to mind+body was introduced. After studying the materials, exercising in the class, and discussing it in groups they designed a particularly creative act, mostly in public, inspired by their understanding of their mindbody in relation to the topics.
These weekly projects consist of a few main elements: written passage, performances, and translation of the topic.

Throughout the semester students have learned to experience and explore the notion of mindfulness in a broader definition through creative and artistic practices.

The following PDFs are a selection and documentation of weekly projects. They attempt to capture a glimpse of student projects and exercises which could not fully be put into words or documented. It is fair to say that their experience went beyond mere documentation and journaling since the very foundation of mindfulness practices can’t be contained in forms entirely.
