Breathe
The insight we develop through Mindfulness, which shares a similar perspective with the “here and now” principle of creative drama, helps us be fairer and kinder to ourselves while also supporting our empathy skills. One of the techniques used in Mindfulness, the breathing technique, allows us to consciously bring our attention to the present moment, instead of being stuck in the past or worrying about the future. The primary goal of our drama workshop, enriched with this breathing technique, is to explore the cycle, movement, and rhythm of breath in the body—referring to the main theme of the congress, “Devridaim,” and honoring our esteemed professor, Ali Öztürk. Breath, which surrounds us as a cycle, is life itself.
Conscious breathing is a process that allows us to discover and release the power of our existence, but how aware are we of this?
What kind of conflict are we in between the most fundamental need of life and life itself?
In our workshop, we will search for answers to these questions together.
