Event Description

Spiralling into Desire brings together mover Brinda Jacob-Janvrin and filmmakers Roohi Dixit and Ziba Bhagwagar to document the Desire process. In this exploration of the authentic movement process, the camera is the witness and the relationship between filmmaker and mover is one of deep compassion. The embodied presence of both the mover and the witness allows for the transformation of the soul into substance. Spirit and matter are no longer separate and we’re in the presence of deep mystery. The film traces a woman’s descent into her deep body to access and retrieve her true autonomy and draws parallels from the first epic poem ‘The Descent of Inanna’. The film is based on authentic movement practices of a mover and witness, which is the modality that the workshop will be using.

Into Desire is part of the larger Desire Project which explores how we hold desire in our bodies. We are deeply interested in what is possible for the community when eros is equally prioritised as logos.

The Movement x Film Collaboration is produced by the Studio for Movement Arts and Therapies Trust, in collaboration with Zero Rules, and is supported by Goethe Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore.

The screening will be at 11 a.m. followed by a workshop facilitated by Brinda Jacob-Janvrin. While entry is free, please register here and reserve your seat ahead of the screening as seating is limited.
