This workshop invites participants to reconnect with the university campus through shape, texture, movement, sound/ word, perspective, passage and the other – than – human element. With the intention of composing experiential meta-narratives of place, the workshop encourages participants to create small group site-specific walking events interweaving sensory embodied biographies with collective histories of togetherness.
