Oracular Bodies: Channeling Movement and Energy.
A Mystery School workshop, with Meg Stuart.
In this immersive workshop, you are invited to step into the liminal space where the body is a oracle, and movement a conduit for unseen forces. Drawing from somatic practices, improvisation, energy work, and divinatory traditions, Oracular Bodies explores how we can receive, interpret, and embody transpersonal messages beyond language.
Through guided improvisations, trance states, and collective lucid dreaming participants will playfully engage with movement as divination-channeling impulses from within and with each other. We will experiment with energetic transmissions, vocal resonance, and spontaneous composition, using the body as a site of revelation.

Bio
Meg Stuart
Choreographer, director, and dancer who lives and works in Berlin and Brussels. With her company, Damaged Goods, founded in 1994, she has created over thirty productions, ranging from solos and duets to group pieces, video works, site-specific creations and improvisation projects.
Stuart’s work moves freely between the genres of dance, theater and visual arts, driven by an ongoing dialogue with artists from different disciplines.
Through fictions and shifting narrative layers, she explores dance as a source of healing and a way to transform the social fabric.
Improvisation is an important part of Stuart’s practice, as a strategy to move from physical and emotional states or the memory of them.
Meg Stuart has received many awards for her work, notably the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Biennale di Venezia in 2018, and she was a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2023.
