This summer I’m teaching a 3-week online workshop, Walking as Artistic Practice.

This workshop is designed as a brief survey of some of the origins, theories, processes, and manifestations of walking as art. Read, watch, and discuss perspectives on walking-based projects. Using this information as a springboard, students will complete their own walking exercises, and execute original walking-based projects. This summer we will be covering the following three topics: embodiment, memory, and place. Open to students ages 18 and above.

This remote class will be conducted via Google Meet. It will include presentations by the instructor, walking projects/exercises, class discussions, and opportunities for students to share their work.

Required hardware: A computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access, a camera, and microphone for class meetings and to capture and upload work. Required supplies for the first class: Pen or pencil; notebook or sketchbook; digital or cell phone camera.
