Ready for take off!

In these increasingly strange times, we will look back critically while also looking toward the future with hope. Throughout this year’s programme we will reflect on the increasing pressure to improve performance and extend our physical capabilities, while also exploring how our minds can expand the boundaries and limitations imposed upon us. With the theme Extended bodies/Expanded minds we open ourselves to being together. Embracing the full diversity of our experiences, backgrounds, abilities, and limitations, we retrain ourselves in the practice of community.

A community as a whole is always stronger and more resilient than the individuals who form it. We believe that a community is not created by adding individuals together, but by what we share, bear and endure. There, in that shared space, is room for something new. In the realisation that together we can do more than alone, not by becoming bigger, but by making space.
