Chanting Body: Moving with Chinese Poetic ThoughtAbout this EventChanting Body: Moving with Chinese Poetic ThoughtIntroductionIn classical Chinese poetry, the boundaries between nature, body, and mind dissolve into a shared rhythm. This course invites participants into a dynamic encounter with Chinese poetic thought—not as text alone, but as a lived and moving experience.Through guided readings, somatic exploration, and improvisational movement, we will trace how poetry in the Chinese tradition breathes with cosmological awareness, inner stillness, and responsive embodiment. Drawing on Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucian aesthetics, the course explores key poetic voices and how their landscapes of language can be felt through the breath, the spine, and the sensing body.Open to dancers, poets, movers, and all those with an interest in Chinese philosophy and aesthetics, this course offers a space to explore the body as a vessel of resonance—where poetic images chant through motion, and the space between words becomes a terrain for embodied presence.FormatThis course is offered both in person and online, blending intellectual discussion with guided movement practice.
