18 March 12:00 – 14:00

ICE building, Coventry University, CV1 2NE

Free to attend

Sandra Reeve will facilitate an artist’s retreat with 15 artists of different disciplines from 14th-18th March, exploring the context of Coventry city as an urban environment, with a final day sharing on the 18th of March which is open to the public. Her ‘ecological movement’ approach considers the artist’s and audience’s inter-relationship with the context of the work.  This ingrains site as an integral part of the art-making process, as it emerges out of the affordances offered by the site (and out of the artist and audience ‘collaborating’ in the site).

Sandra Reeve runs the The Move into Life® workshop programme which draws on the teaching of the respected Javanese movement artist Suprapto Suryodarmo (Prapto). Her work is interdisciplinary as it crosses dance, theatre, intercultural studies and ecological studies.  Reeve is also a scholar, having completed a PhD in Performance Practice at the Drama Department, University of Exeter, where she is an Honorary Fellow. Reeve has published Nine Ways of Seeing a Body (2011) and the edited collections Ways of Seeing a Body: Body and Performance (2013), Embodied Lives (2014) and has written in Dance, Somatics and Spiritualities: Contemporary Sacred Narratives(2014) andMoving Sites: Investigating Site-Specific Dance Performance (2015).
