Jiyoun Lee and Arlene Tucker’s Contamination Lab hosts Georgie Goater’s workshop ‘life in the ruins’, a task-based exploration of movement and text. We will attune our bodily senses and playfully engage with contamination as collaboration, through the lens of life in the ruins and the art of encountering the unexpected. An embodied matrix of movement and text-based tasks, relational scores, and reflection facilitates a safer playground for bodymind inquiry, with an invitation to experiment, be present with the emergent, and, hopefully, ask more questions.

This workshop is free and open to the public
December 13th from 14-15:45
Veeran Verstas, Lossikuja 6, Tuira, Oulu

Accessibility: The workshop is open to all interested, however, unfortunately, there is no sign-language interpreter. For further inquiries please get in touch.

Co-curators Jiyoun Lee and Arlene Tucker created Contamination Lab in 2024 to study things we don't know yet, to clarify misunderstandings and to create togetherness. Our network of trans-national participants investigate contamination and what it means to contaminate or to be contaminated through ecological and human perspectives. Contamination Lab is inspired by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s book The Mushroom at the End of the World as it “argues that staying alive—­ for every species—requires livable collaborations. Collaboration means working across differences, which leads to contamination. Without collaborations, we all die.”

Georgie Goater is a dance artist from Aotearoa, currently based in Helsinki. Her work has spanned Aotearoa, the UK, and Finland as a performer, facilitator, and choreographer over the past two decades. Her practice has developed within disability and multicultural art contexts, honouring each person’s unique embodied intelligence and perception, activated by relational and feminist perspectives. https://www.globeartpoint.fi/creatives/georgie-goater/

움직임과 언어를 통한 >오염랩 Contamination Lab< 탐험

>오염랩 Contamination Lab< 탐험의 일환으로 Georgie Goater의 ‘움직임과 언어를 통한 오염 워크숍’이 핀란드 헬싱키에서 열립니다. 우리의 감각을 조율하고, 움직임과 텍스트, 관계적 스코어, 그룹 성찰의 방식으로 ‘협력으로서의 오염’에 유쾌하게 참여합니다. 이 워크숍의 목적은 호기심 많은 몸-마음을 열려 있는 탐구로 이끄는 것입니다. 폐허 속의 삶, 기후의 몸, 초신체성, 투과적 힘, 생명의 모순에 대하여 ‘준비, 출발, 시작!’의 접근법과 함께 확대하고, 실험하고, 실패하고, 더 많은 질문을 던질 수 있는 안전한 놀이터가 마련되어 있습니다.

​* 이 워크숍은 무료이며 누구나 참여할 수 있습니다.
* 일시: 25.11.4.18:00
* 장소: Humina (Uutiskatu 2, Helsinki)
