What Is at Stake in Filming Acts of Healing?: presentation & workshop
Thursday, 18 June, 11am-12.30pm, FAB6.02
This ​presentation and workshop draw on Peter's ongoing work on a film about the act of healing as a physical and non-physical gesture. He will draw on both his work of filming 'alternative' health practitioners (osteopaths, Alexander teachers...), and his own recent training in the field, making reference to how medicine, illness, and the healing arts have been represented visually across time and space. The material will be framed to be of interest not only to historians and practitioners of visual art and film, but also to anyone concerned with 'embodied inquiry'.
