Open Doors Day at Copper Leg Art Residency
Residency Sharing with Seren Oroszvary ft. A Body To Dwell Co.
Workshops with Karina Talts and Camilla Eustance.
Installation by Camilla Eustance.
Autumn has been fruitfully busy at Copper Leg Art Residency, with the house full of artists coming and going since September. Now, we have the opportunity to savour the flavours of their creative work.
A Body To Dwell is an intimate, multimodal, site-specific experience that invites a journey through the spaces we inhabit, inside and outside of ourselves.
A Body To Dwell was created in 2020 by actress, voice over and performance artist Seren Oroszvary exploring the concept of the house is the body. It premiered at the 2021 CPPM Manifestal in a small loft house in Viimsi Estonia where the project was lived and built by an international ensemble of multidisciplinary artists.
Four years on, in February 2024, the ever-growing A Body To Dwell team took the project to the Copper Leg house in Vaskjala. They returned for a second time this Autumn to plug away at their continuous discovery and befriending of the house’s structure and site, in preparation for a next premiere in 2025/26.
Last week they disappeared, back home, findings made, until next time. Shadows left behind. This Open Doors, collated by Artistic Director Seren Oroszvary, invites you to a lunch of traces that reveal a peek into the story, research, devising process, conversations, quirks, voices, imaginations and reverie of the A Body To Dwell team as they navigate their dwelling, their practice and their dialogue with each other, with the project, with the House (and its mouse).
Bring your feet, hearts, your imagination.

A Body to Feel workshop with Karina Talts:

Avatud Uste Päev Vaskjala Loomeresidentuuris
Loomingu esitlus koos Seren Oroszvary ja A Body To Dwell Co.-ga. Töötoad Karina Taltsi ja Camilla Eustance‘iga.
Instalatsioon Camilla Eustance‘ilt.
Sügis on olnud Vaskjala Loomeresidentuuris viljakalt tegus, alates septembrist on maja täitnud kunstnikud, kes tulevad ja lähevad. Nüüd on meil võimalus maitsta nende loomingut.
Keha, kus elada on intiimne, multimodaalne, kohaspetsiifiline kogemus, mis kutsub rändama ruumides, mida asustame nii seest kui väljast. Projekti lõid näitleja ja performance’i kunstnik Seren Oroszvary 2020. aastal, uurides kontseptsiooni „maja on keha“.
Esmakordselt esitati see 2021. aastal CPPM Manifestalil väikese pööningumajakeses Viimsis, kus projekt elas ja kasvas koos rahvusvahelise mitut valdkonda ühendava kunstnike ansambliga.
Neli aastat hiljem, veebruaris 2024, tõi laienenud Keha, kus elada tiim projekti Rae koolimajja, “Copper Legi” Vaskjalas. Sel sügisel tulid nad tagasi, et jätkata oma uurimisretke ja maja struktuuriga sõbrunemist, valmistudes järgmise esietenduse jaoks 2025/26.
Eelmisel nädalal paljud kadusid, tagasi koju, leidudega, kuni järgmise korrani. Varjud jäid maha.
See Avatud Uste Päev, mille on kokku pannud kunstiline juht Seren Oroszvary, kutsub teid lõunale, kus tutvustatakse leidude killukesi – pilguheidu projekti uurimisse, loomise protsessi, vestlustesse, häältesse ja kujutlusse, mille abil Keha, kus elada meeskond navigeeris oma tegevust, elukohta ja dialoogi üksteisega, projektiga ning majaga (ja selle hiirega).
Võtke kaasa oma jalad, südamed ja kujutlusvõime.

Mõtlik sügisjoonistamine Camilla Eustance’iga:
Selles töötoas juhendab Camilla osalejaid läbi lihtsate joonistusharjutuste, mis keskenduvad hooaja ja üksteisega ühenduse loomisele. Varasem joonistamiskogemus pole vajalik.

Tundekeha / Kehatunne töötuba koos Karina Taltsiga:
Selles töötoas uurime, kuidas tunda ja luua ühendust oma kehaga läbi Hiina meditsiini vaatenurga. Õpid ära tundma Qi voolu ning kuidas erinevad praktikad, nagu liikumine, hingamine ja teadvelolek, aitavad sul süvendada ühendust oma kehaga.
