a movement, ritual and photography workshop on the art of being seen

with Cathy Key (art) and Joanne Winstanley (5Rhythms)

Living Portraits is a two-day pilot workshop exploring the art of being witnessed through movement, ritual theatre, and portrait photography.

Together we will explore the masks, defenses, longings and aliveness that appear when we allow ourselves to be truly seen. What do we reveal? What do we protect? What becomes possible when we meet ourselves and one another with presence, curiosity and compassion?

We will take time to lay down our 5Rhythms foundations and to find our own dance before (and after) exploring visibility, and the effect of having a camera in the space. Solo and group portrait work will emerge from, and will be informed by, our movement practice.

Portrait photographer and dancer Leanne Gummersbach will work with us inside the workshop container. As we deepen our capacity to move and be seen, there will be an opportunity to be witnessed through the lens. After the workshop, each participant will receive a photograph from your experience. 

This is an intimate pilot offering co-created by 5Rhythms® teacher Joanne Winstanley and artist Cathy Key, whose ongoing body of work, Portrait as Ritual, explores portraiture as a doorway into relationship, presence and transformation.

This pilot is for people who are curious about movement, creativity, visibility and the deeper experience of being seen. No experience is needed. Come as you are.
