“Descent into Silence – the Art of Looking at Ourselves” is a 4-day participative arts and mindfulness workshop which will take place in Sofia between November 1st and November 4th, 2018.
The participants in the training will enjoy a wide range of art and image-making, movement and mindfulness activities through which they will develop their own ‘sensory portal’, a site-specific installation at the location of the workshop.
The weekend culminates in a performance, where the participants invite friends and family to experience journeying through the sensory portals they have co-created.
The workshop and performance offer an opportunity to step out of time and enter a ‘being’ instead of a ‘doing’ mode. What we find is that people who engage with our work report greater confidence, clarity, joy, peace and aspiration.
Who is this workshop for:
“Descent into Silence – the Art of Looking at Ourselves” offers personal and professional development for therapists, performers, theatre makers, dancers, artists, activists, community organisers, social leaders, educators, third sector professionals, innovators, change-makers, yoga teachers, health & well-being professionals.

>>>>>> What is Sensory Labyrinth Theatre?
The Sensory Labyrinth Theatre is an interactive creative process that leads to the creation of a site-specific performance. In this type of theatre the visitors are not passive spectators, but active protagonists and creators who personally meet and interact with the artists. Visitors go individually through a specially prepared labyrinth installation, saturated with unusual sensory provocations (hearing, tactile, olfactory, visual and taste).
