Night Sea Journeys

Travelling like the heroines and heroes of all times into the Unknown, crossing shadowlands and descending into underworlds – the mythological motif of the night sea journey is one of the most well-known images for the process of personal individuation and the development of one’s own autonomy through awareness for and embodiment of the Self. The workshop explores the motif through different approaches, from “drifts” into the Unknown in the city of Berlin and the work with masks and myths, to the creation of performative vignettes (video, collage, movement, soundscapes, etc) which explore contemporary approaches to autonomy and our shifting understanding of Self at the beginning of the 21st century.
