How do we refill and settle our nervous systems during these terrifying times? If you are fighting the corrupt system we live in and you don’t EXPRESS and UNPACK what is inside you, you will burn out. Maybe you already have.
Come to our BAD ART class!
Scribbling, creative writing, drawing, making tiny melodies, monologues, photographs, creating bad art videos. That is the medicine we know about. We do it almost every day. We make something to reflect back that we are human; we have feelings, opinions, passions, and insights. We get lost and find ourselves through the wild and uncharted play of MAKING. Sometimes we share it with others, sometimes it’s just for ourselves.
Come be in community space and find a way forward. We promise that making art does not mean you are doing nothing about the insanity of this moment.
In fact, we often find our feet and voice as we are being creative. Things become clear to us and our path is revealed.
Bad art is a lens. It is a permission to NOT TRY TO BE GOOD but to focus instead on the FEEL OF IT. The healing and release of expressing yourself. And, if even that is too much pressure, we will invite you to purposely make something terrible, ugly, boring, annoying, flat, disgusting, or all around dumb.
Sometimes making bad art is the way into your DEEP DOWN BRAIN — your BODY BRAIN — that moves and unfolds without even knowing what it’s doing.
Let’s not know together, as a group.
In our Bad Art Practice as an Act Of Resistance 7-class series, we will be facilitating structures and assignments and inviting you into a life-giving practice. We will welcome your inner kid parts. Your irreverent clown. Your icy, thawing emotions. Your sensations. Your blocks.Your weirdness. Your deep inner conflict. Your untapped knowing.
Trust us, you need this.
