Welcome to the second SKILL SHARE on Care for the self. In teamwork with Engagement arts, Artist Commons Brussels. Hosted by Tessa Martin and Nelle Hens.
Sunday 24 February, 15:00 – 18:00 at Artist Commons, Rue des Pierres 8, 1000 Brussels
How can we remain involved, remain present, remain sane and healthy without crossing our personal boundaries? What can we do for ourselves on a daily basis to take more care? Nelle and Tessa will guide you through some of their personal generated tools and offer moments of silence, breathwork, gentle hands on and an open space for exchange.
Can we meet without ‘having to’, past entrenched forms and expectations? ‘Nobody’, a 1-on-1 performance that invites a subtle shift of attention. From dancer to dance, from showing to allowing yourself to be seen.

The unknown hides an infinity of possibilities within. ‘What if’ we let go of our expectations towards ourselves? ‘What if’ we question the rules we were taught about how to make a ‘beautiful’ dance? ‘What if’ we let go of our judgment or conception of what is a ‘good’ dance? What if we dance without expectations for marvels or spectacle? We invite you to come and fail with us
