Composing With What is There, with Sylvie Cotton

January 20 to 22, 2012

Continually investigating one’s perception of (and place in) the world, every artist needs "food" to keep nourishing the philosophical and personal/existential research that essentially is the work that an artist does – and what the artist offers out to the world. Through a variety of exercises and creative activities, this workshop will focus on the practice of synchronizing the body and the spirit.
