EXPRESSIVE
ARTS WORKSHOP IN CO-OPERATION WITH C4C AND FEDO
We all are created equal
Aim:
To use Expressive Arts to promote the social, physical and
mental wellbeing of marginalized groups.
How it will work:
Workshop shall promote the wellbeing and empower the Dalit community by
hosting two workshops utilizing the expressive arts of mask making and dance.
The initial workshops objective will be to train a group of trainers and shall
consist of six participants from the Dalit community, lasting for six days.

The second workshop will be held for seven days, for a larger group of
18 people, from the wider Dalit community. It will be provided to give the
trainees a platform to practice their skills and pass on their knowledge that
they have learnt within the Expressive Arts. As Expressive Art Facilitators we
shall be present to support this practice.
The days will be split into two halves, with the morning being reserved
for dance and movement exercises. During these sessions we shall creatively
explore the self, the other and movement as a metaphor for expressing our life
stories. The subject matter that is harvested during these sessions shall go
towards the second half of the day that shall be dedicated to mask making as
another way of externalizing certain themes and feelings within an individual´s
life experience.
As a final outcome, the products created from these
workshops will be showcased as part of the International Human Rights day on the 10th
of December 2012.

Our life experiences can be accessed and activated
through the body in movement. Movement is the primary language of the body and
brings us to the deep feelings and memories.
Key words for doing:
Body awareness, personal body scan,
balancing-centering, trust, group work, body portrait, dancing & exercises
for different body parts. Getting to know different materials by drawing and
mask making. Every morning there will be a check-in exercise which will help to
reflect feelings from previous day workshop and at the end of the each day
participants write journal for the day´s events.
