FROM THE ARTIST

Energy Image Flow is an enquiry into the intersection of Qigong energy cultivation with movement improvisation for dance and performance. Qigong is an Eastern Daoist system that aims to integrate the mind, body and spirit into a relaxed flow of energy guided by the breath. Through grounding the body, relaxing the muscles and quietening the mind, one can experience a sense of interconnectedness with the inner and outer world. The workshop will train the embodied imagination to generate kinaesthetic expression from images and energies that flow in and out of a receptive body.

ABOUT LIAN LOKE

Lian Loke is a multi-disciplinary movement artist, based in Warrane/Sydney. Her practice investigates new movement languages and metamorphic embodiment practices informed by imaginings with body extensions, objects, machines and spaces. Her solo and group dance performances and performance installation work are primarily in non-traditional performance spaces. She trains in the Japanese Bodyweather dance methodology with de Quincey Co (2007 – present). From 1998 to 2006, she trained under American choreographer Annetta Luce in somatic and shamanic dance practices, informed by Body-Mind Centering and Qigong energy cultivation. She is currently undertaking teacher training certification in Qigong.
