“The Corpse of Mine”                                                  

 
 
 
 
A traveling from me to a stone,
From a stone to a tree,
From a tree to the sun,
From the sun to me,
And from me to me.
These are all the exercises that we are going to experience during the workshop. We will take our minds to a journey and on the way; we will pick up our bodies to move them with us. Towards an adventure which has various pitches and valleys in front. Exploring to be grasses, sky, air, nobody, nothing…
It is the most difficult thing to do. Being Nothing. But, that is our main aim to reach for in the journey. To become nobody and do nothing. It seems interesting and at the same time it sounds impossible. We will try to stand up as a tree for many years, maybe.
…to sit like a stone.
…to breathe like the air.
…to move like the wind, water, sun…
It is possible. We have already all those elements inside of us and they are different faces of ours. So, I should leave my body and carry it on my shoulders.
The way is very long. Let`s go soon…
