Chimeras
workshop facilitated by Byuka, at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, 2019.
Welcome to our third IntimateAnimals event.
We will shed our human shells. In order to question our own identities,
As well as
What is normality
Or natural
we will connect to non-human species.
Using Tarot and collective drawing- we will create our own animal hybrids and will dance their personal mythology.
Wings growing
From the left
And right side
Of my skull.
The rhythm of my breath-
The one of an insect
Mating.
​
//Death is a needle pinching my tail //
My salamander eye
That follows you,closely,
Melts under
Your sun-heart.
You can hear
Through my fragile organs/
The humming
Of a blue whale.
Flying, swimming, crawling, mating, fighting, singing, nest-making.What animal are you?How do you sing your longing?What do you dance for?How is your body mourning and celebrating life?
