RESIDUE_S  A project by Dolores Hulan

nl - zitten met het lichaam - een onderzoek van Renée Copraij & Heike Langsdorf (retraite 1)

Tijdens twee test-retraites in 2012 lieten Renée Copraij en HeikeLangsdorf het beeld met de twee zittende lichamen drie keer per dag zien en werd ook al met andere mensen aan dit beeld gewerkt. In 2013 is de ontwikkeling van verschillende choreografiën gepland, die allemaal op dit eerste beeld gebaseerd zijn. Uiteindelijk zullen ze door Copraij en Langsdorf, maar ook door andere geïnteresseerde Brusselaars uitgevoerd worden.
"zitten met het lichaam is een oefening voor lichaam en geest waar iedereen altijd toegang toe heeft en die introspectief leert te kijken. We willen voor openbare plaatsen in de stad beelden ontwikkelen die je de ruimte in je eigen lichaam laten ervaren. Het eerste beeld dat we 3 keer per dag laten zien is deze oefening. Daarna, als de rolluiken dicht zijn, zijn we bezig met het volgende beeld." foto's

en - sitting with the body - a research by Renée Copraij & Heike Langsdorf (retreat 1)

During two test-retreats in 2012 Renée Copraij and Heike Langsdorf showed the image with the two sitting bodies three times a day and worked already with other people on this image. In 2013 they plan to develop choreographies, all of which will be based on this first image and eventually will be carried out by Copraij en Langsdorf as well as by other interested Brussels residents.
"sitting with the body is an exercise for body and mind which is accessible for everyone en which teaches 'to look inward'. We want to develop images with our bodies for public places in the city which let you experience the space in your own body. The first image we present is this exercise. When the shutters are closed we are busy with the next image." pics 

fr - être assis avec le corps - une recherche de Renée Copraij & Heike Langsdorf (retraite 1)

Pendant deux retraites d'essai en 2012 Renée Copraij et Heike Langsdorf montraient l'image avec les deux corps assis trois fois par jour et ils ont travaillé aussi avec d'autres personnes sur cette image. En 2013 ils planifient un développement des chorégraphies basées sur cette première image et qui seront finalement mises sur scène par Copraij et Langsdorf mais également par d'autres Bruxellois interessés.
"être assis avec le corps est un exercice pour le corps et l'esprit, ouvert à chacun, qui nous apprend à regarder introspectivement. Nous voulons développer des images pour l'espace public, qui permettent d'expérimenter l’espace dans vos propres corps. La première image, que nous présentons, est cet exercice. Quand les volets sont fermés, nous sommes occupées par l'image suivante."  photos
