Homage with PEREL

Research Project
Week 1 10:00 – 16:00

This will be a week dedicated to the art of the homage. The technical definition of homage is to show great respect and honour, often through a tribute or acknowledgment, of the influence of someone who is no longer alive. This can be a loved one, a teacher, friend, mentor, chosen family member or community member, or a person who has influenced a movement, genre, school of thought, or field of research whom participants might wish to honour. It can even be for an unknown person, someone imaginary, who represents an ancestry, or a legacy of struggle or oppression.

Participants are invited to come to the studio with a person in mind for whom they want to create an homage. They should bring their notebook, maybe a piece of music, and anything that might reference their person, or the idea of the person. Clothing, accessories, books, flowers, trash – any objects, large or small, sacred or profane.

Participants will spend time exploring their thoughts, feelings, attitudes toward the person, through talking, writing, moving, independently, in partners, and with the group.

Each morning they will set up an altar in a part of the studio, and participate in centring exercises, tending to their living selves while also calling in those whom they wish to invoke. They will take time to talk, write, and investigate how they want to pay tribute to their person.

In the afternoon, the group will revisit their morning work, share processes and get into the embodiment of their homages. This will incorporate guided post-modern exercises from Authentic Movement™, Body Mind Centering®, and Skinner Releasing, with the central inquiry of how do they both get into their own unique qualities and at the same time become vessels through which another can pass, or fill up, and then be released? And how does this practice affect and change each one? What does it cause to reflect back upon in our desires, longings, or memories?

The group will use the resources of audio, video, and texts from a range of transformational practices to inform our explorations. Together they will watch and/or discuss homage performances from a range of forms and eras. At the end of the week everyone will share a sketch, bite, seed, piece from their homages.
