Oh feet
Yin Haolong
he | him
Friday
What do you think when you think about your feet? This workshop invites you to a ritual to explore your feet. Anatomically, the delicate architecture of 26 bones - itself is a piece of art - alive in each one of us. Culturally, how do we see the feet, the feet as an object of fetish, desire, the feet as dirty and unclean, or the feet as something holy and respected? By bringing care into our lowest body parts, we aspire to elevate our sense of self and dignity. By bringing attention to our feet as a practice of flattening the hierarchy, the feet remind us to ground and to root. We will dance with the sensitivity of these beautiful, raw and felt human feet.
