JUST FOR TODAY
28 October
How do you relate with the things from afar
Walk with Anna Tzakou.
A walk about sensing, dreaming and belonging. From mountain Ymittos, the eastern borderline of the city, we return to (or perhaps arrive at) the house of Isadora and Raymond Duncan. We embody their ‘in-between’ seen and unseen connections, and we reflect (or is it dreaming) on people, places and stories that relate the Duncan house to the Mountain and the City.
Pages From My Garden – pt 2.
Translation workshop with Vascos - Vasilis Noulas and Kostas Tzimoulis.
A two-day workshop that aims to bring up-to-date Raymond’s manifesto, which was published in English within his book “Pages From My Press” in 1947. The idea behind the workshop reflects on the need to develop a common language through a collective process that will be understood by all and will express contemporary sensibilities, paying attention to how the words we use have an impact both on us and on others.
Wet Felting Craft
Wet felting workshop with wool with Julie Loi.
The hill where the Duncan family built their house is described by Isadora as an empty, rocky terrain without water, located far from Athens and frequented only by shepherds and their flocks. During this workshop, we will utilize wool in order to explore the ancient technique of wet felting, a time-consuming craft that allows space for listening to each other but also to oneself.
Listening grounds
Dance and permaculture workshop with Iris Nikolaou and Vasiliki Tsagkari.
Listening Grounds is a choreographic score that operates as an open system of collective encounter and feedback. It is designed in analogy to the permaculture design zones, expanding from the most intimate, “the self”, to the unknown, “the wilderness”. It proposes a speculative movement practice that spreads across the spectrum of perception, experience, and relationships enfolding inner and outer environments, human and non-human interactions, place and space.
Gestures that bring us close to the things the world is made of
Dialogic Encounters with Maro Pantazidou.
In what we call the central conversation of the event, Maro will share her own research on the contemporary relationship between labour, time, and care. Tapping into learnings from the fields of degrowth, post-work, and the sociology of time, we will reflect on our personal relationship to everyday practices and we will attempt to widen the perspective of our needs; to reanimate and perhaps rearrange our desires. For the better knowing of this world, and the making of new ones.
