Building&Breaking Into & As Practice

"First forget inspiration. Habit is more
dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're
inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and
polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is
persistence in practice." Octavia Butler,
Bloodchild and Other Stories

In BUILDING&BREAKING will focus on
interdisciplinary, exploratory, conceptual,
somatic, & material processes, for building and
breaking into the notion of "having, building,
making, exploring a daily practice."

BUILDING&BREAKING will explore techniques such as
Somatics, Scores, Algorithms, Play, News
Exorcisms, Internal-External Observation, and
other creative approaches. Diving into practices
that build habits and/or break from routines, we
explore how we might develop them through spatial
and sensory activities, repetition, meditation,
excess, communication games,. We will apply
notions of rest, observation, and recuperation to
our accompanying Reading, Writing, Moving, and
shared Research - group and solo.

BUILDING&BREAKING aims to support students at all
stages, in any medium/school through the
commitment of opening to experimentation that
unearths our relationship to new and old habits,
reorienting how we imagine success and failure
while engaging in the potencies of discovery and
loss.
