Waterbabies Dreamboat Cocoon
At this end of the year, the Water Babies say:
The water is rising.
It is time to do as little as possible.
Water Bodies invites you for a lazy, intimate and gestational day of floating and dreaming in ‘Unison*,’ as we take a baby step off land and cocoon. We’ll slowly feed on milky light and a secret supply of un-time. In a state “neither active nor passive, and yet both active and passive”**, we dream the bodies that are not-yet, into being.
Dreaming has long been considered a key part of our evolution into human social beings. We are now exploring the technology of dreaming as an evolutionary process, towards a new kind of being-with-water..
Dreaming is relational, neither far nor near, or perhaps both far and near, and neither depending on an underlying unity not seeking to achieve wholeness, but most importantly, always coming forth, forming into patterns, finding connections, dancing the making and the unmaking [..] living things as they dance themselves into patterns of care and connection.***
Water Bodies is a network of artists and researchers developing creative methods for evolving towards, and adapting to, life in and near water.
Dreaming hosted by Zoe Czavda Redo and Tuuli Malla.
