Body and language are never separate, as the writing body shapes its words and words shape the writing body. During this workshop, we will be exploring asemic writing. As asemic writing explores how drawing and writing is fundamentally the same, everyone who can draw can write.
Together we will turn words into lines and shapes with natural vegetable ink. We will look upon words as bodies and bodies as words and explore how this relation is rooted within language and movement. How writing is moving and how reading is seeing.
Schedule of activities:
Bring a word in any language
How many times can you re-write it into lines and shapes?
Allow yourself to experiment in multiple versions, but stick to the same word.
Move among others on and outside the paper, but keep your word internal to yourself.
Overwrite yourself.
Overwrite someone else.
At last, spill a drop or two; observe the difference between shapes of control and non-control.
What do you see/read? Put your observations into words.
Requirements: None.
Outcomes: a collective writing on paper and natural ink; a collection of different maps
