Event Description

60 mins | English

Spiralling into Desire traces a woman’s descent into her deep body to access and retrieve her true autonomy.

The sharing draws parallels from the first epic poem The Descent of Innana and is set at the intersection of the arts, psychology and spirituality.

Inspired by artist’s practice of authentic movement and natural dreamwork, the performance builds on both – the creative process and the witnessing process, as it explores the question, ‘How do we hold desire in our bodies?’
