Collective Dialogues is a 2 hours long workshop where micro-politics will be explored from within the body and in relation to other bodies through the lens of the Viewpoints Technique.

Viewpoints involves keeping bodies together in time and space. By navigating through the 9 viewpoints (tempo, duration, repetition, kinaesthetic response, spacial relationship, shape, gesture, architecture, and topography) we will negotiate ways to embody them as a group and discover together how bodily perceptions can foster social engagement.

The aim is to create an integrating space that acknowledges people’s backgrounds and to facilitate explorations through shared embodied experiences. The journey revolves around bringing to the surface the importance of relatedness, empathy, touch, sense of belonging, and tolerance.

The desire is to open reflections about our patterns of behaviour within society and create space to acknowledge, question, and perhaps break them. To think about micro-political transformations that can impact the macro-environment and empower collective actions.
