My work and research are situated in art museums and center museum visitors' bodies. Art objects become an opportunity for connection, participation, and disruption of hierarchies, institutional imbalances and epistemological authority.
I propose Body Based Pedagogies (BBP) as a way to intentionally and mindfully activate visitors' bodies and works against the mutation of the sensational self.
Body Based Pedagogies go beyond a walk around the artwork, and/or a drama pose. BBP incorporate spatial and institutional affordances transforming a sensations and feelings to openings for meaningful connections with the self, others, ad the art.
We also run independent, interactive tours in awesome museums and exhibitions. These are for anyone who thinks art is boring and tours are so last year. Let's experience some art together!
