A participatory performance in public space to celebrate a ritual of rebirth.
Part-workshop, part-performance, The Rite of Rebirth is an open, participatory project that will integrate ancient therapeutic and contemporary artistic practices to generate a warm and welcoming connection between the community and the new La Mama space.
In the workshop component, participants will be guided through a range of wellbeing and creative activities, exploring their connection to the senses, breath, movement, sound, gesture, voice, rhythm and composition.
The workshop will then culminate in a participatory performative ritual of rebirth, taking place across the interior and exterior spaces of the La Mama building.
You are invited to join the workshop and take part in the final performance.
LOCATION: Whole space of La Mama HQ
