Reprieve workshop

We invite all moms who would like to refresh, renew and strengthen the relationship with themselves, their body and their sensitivity. This is a proposal for people who care about others on a daily basis and direct a large part of their attention and energy to the needs of loved ones.

Do you want to participate? Write to w.hladko@msl.org.pl or 605 060 063, (wt. -Fri., 10.00-16.00).

In the workshop we will create a space for stopping and regeneration. Art, silence, gentle movement and mindfulness will help to direct attention to one's own breath, body and inner needs. Through simple movement and breathing practices and direct experience of art, we will return to the pleasure of contact with each other. The workshops will be a time of rest, fun, reclaiming your own space and reinforcing each mom's sense of separateness.

Meetings are held in parallel with classes for the youngest children aged 1-4 years. Participants can come with a child and an additional caregiver who will stay with the child during this time or take them to parallel educational activities.

Where: ms², Ogrodowa 19, in the exhibition spaces

When: Meetings once a month — Wednesdays.

For whom: For moms who want to slow down for a while, relax and take care of themselves. The classes are aimed at people who need quiet, gentle movement and regeneration in the environment of art. No previous movement experience or good physical condition is required.

Admission: 10 zł

How to prepare? We ask for comfortable clothing that does not constrain movements and allows you to perform the exercises freely while standing, sitting and lying down. We perform some of the exercises barefoot or in socks. Mats and other materials needed during classes are provided by the museum.

Conducted by: Wiktoria Hładko - theatrologist, Russian musician, performer. A graduate of the Aleksander Zelwerowicz Theatre Academy in Warsaw and a course in experimental choreography at Centrum w Ruchu. In her educational activities, she is most interested in the study of the performative dimension of life and art, word and description, products and garbage, corporeality and gaze.
