Body/Landscape: The workshop proposes strategies to
confront our bodies with the multiplicity, unpredictability,
directness and autonomy of the natural environment.
The aim is to explore and develop consciousness of the
body itself being an ever evolving landscape within a
greater surrounding landscape.

BWL Workshop The basic training and point of departure for this
workshop, Body Weather, is a comprehensive training and performance practice that investigates the intersections of bodies and their environments. Bodies are not conceived as fixed entities, but just like the weather, constantly changing through an infinite and complex system of processes occurring in- and outside of these bodies

Farmlab Public Salon
"Corpus Criticus: Bodies on Words - Words on Bodies"
Frank van de Ven & Victoria Looseleaf
Friday, April 17, 2009 Noon. Free Admission

Considering the art of improvisation as danced by Frank van de Ven, arts journalist and critic Victoria Looseleaf opens a dialogue with both performer and audience, demystifying the genre in real time. In today's environment where criticism is losing currency, we explore the conversation between the moving body - the unspoken - and that which needs to be said.
