Soul Sites: Soul Drifts

About

This 5-day masterclass and research laboratory with Thomas Prattki, founder of arthaus.berlin and the International Thomas Prattki Centre, gives you not only an insight into fundamental elements of the mythopoetic pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq, one of the most influential theatre reformers of the 20th century, but also an insight into the resoul approach, an expressive art- , depth psychological- and deep ecology-based approach to embodied creativity and the creation of soul-infused, transformational original work, developed by Thomas Prattki in his over 35 years of research.

The week invites you to explore Berlin with its manifold rhythms, countless voices, bright lights and shadowy treasures, its bold self-staging and unheard stories. On drifts through the city, you will follow your intuition as your invisible guide, allowing her to transform the city for you into a poetic metaphor for your own inner life. Using intuitive movement, archetypal mask work, painting, drawing and collage making, beyond others, you are invited to embody, amplify and transpose your drifts to descend to that poetic place within your imagination, where the city's sites and secrets, wounds and wonders mirror in mysterious ways your own inner life with its glowing beauty and unlived longings, waiting to be expressed through means of performance. Participants will be invited to create performative vignettes that respond to their experiences in the city during these days, whether through the making of videos, photo collages, installations, soundscapes, movement choreographies, paintings, writings, etc. The masterclass and research laboratory will conclude with a sharing of the participants vignettes
