Project description

How do we approach the nonhuman actors of our environment? How can we learn to empathize with them? What kind of tools do we need and what can we learn about ourselves in the process?
The Embodiment Toolkit is an immersive experiment in which we observe, analyze and embody our fields of interest.
We invite you to join us in playful, performative and collective exercises that give body to untouchable concepts and awareness to seemingly mundane practices.

Überkochen Embodiment Toolkit

Experience „Überkochen“, a durational performance installation that explores pressure, frustration, and administrative processes. Eight whistling kettles on individual hot plates set the stage. Visitors are invited to apply for hot beverages and navigate a maze of pressure process, while the official Herr Munske stamps, types, smokes, complains, serves tea, waits, prints, and rearranges kettles.

Let's Build a Home Embodiment Toolkit

Join us to connect and collaborate. Partner with a stranger to co-create a shared space, exploring boundaries, proximity, and togetherness. With flexible instructions, decide on space, accessibility, enclosure, and height—roof or open sky? Reflect on choices and personal boundaries. Enjoy a conversation and tea in your space.

Exercises for Aesthetic-Experiences. Embodiment Toolkit

How can we overcome the separations of subject/object-relationships, between us and the world around us? Aesthetic-experiences are characterized by their strong bond between the perceiving subject and the perceived object - which is lifted out of the noise of experience, filled with meaning and interwoven with the subject. This Project developed guided perception exercises that lead participants into fabricated aesthetic-experiences, where they can experiment with merging with their environment.

Patience / Doing nothing Embodiment Toolkit

1st exercise in anti-capitalist resistance This participatory performance invites you to stop in the garden, switch off your mobile phone and do nothing. While an ice cube melts in the palm of your hand, you might open yourself towards your sensory perceptions and let time pass.
