Breaking Ground: Figure Drawing + Embodiment
Join us for Breaking Ground, a unique Chaosmos Experience at Primal Moves! Immerse yourself in a night of live figure drawing and embodiment, mirroring the earth's rhythm—slow, dense, and filled with the tension that leads to release.
Created by Chao Dou, an experience architect dedicated to nurturing the artist within everyone, this event welcomes all skill levels. Our movement artist will embody the essence of the earth, transitioning through various states before settling into stillness for drawing.
Evening Flow:
- Mountain: Solid, still, with the longest holds at five minutes.
- Dune: Shifting, quicker poses lasting three minutes.
- Quake: Sudden, dynamic, with one-minute poses that ignite movement.
