Simon Whitehead Locator 18 (Pentre Ifan)

LOCATOR18 - BIVOUAC 14-18 August 2008 Canolfan Pentre Ifan Centre, West Wales.
Locator is an ongoing series of residential workshops led by Movement Artist Simon Whitehead. Tycanol, a site of SSI and sessile oak woodland nested beneath the Preseli hills, Wales, has been the home for a quietly evolving performance practice over the last 13 years. Residing in the sensory life of the body and its movement, Locator is an active exploration of ecology and sensory perception through a process of moving, walking and wandering, witnessing, gathering, rising and falling with the sun, getting lost, becoming located, drawing, fasting and making.
In this workshop we will pursue the phenomenon of shelter, both as it resides in the movement and scale of the body and its imminence in our lives.
Fee: £225 (waged), £180 (part waged, freelance). Fees Include accommodation and first meal. Please send £80 deposit to reserve a place:
