Being present in a multimodal arts enquiry

 

Presenter: Dr Andrea Breen

                       

Date: Saturday 17 July 2010

 

Being-in-the-world, with all its ordinariness, anxiety and relationships, is a fluid and improvised process that cannot be separated from our personal beliefs and values. When we are attentive (or present) to meaningful moments in our lives new understanding emerges; when these understandings are explored around our values deeper transformation can take place. Using the arts as means of inquiry into personal and inter-personal knowing can open unexpected dimensions of discovery and wonder.

In this forum Andrea will invite participants to explore meaningful moments of the ordinary through multi modal arts inquiry that includes visual art (eg drawing and clay), movement, sound and writing. No previous expertise in the arts is necessary to participate in this forum. Materials will be supplied.

Andrea Breen is a children’s counsellor, creative arts therapist and family therapist in Melbourne where she also teaches at the Melbourne Institute for Experiential and Creative Arts Therapy. She has a practice as a multi-media artist, with a special interest in improvisation, poetic texts and musical composition.
