Robin van Westen and artist Marloeke van der Vlugt will give a workshop embodied learning during the ArtEZ studium generale in Enschede, that runs from 6 - 8 November 2015, in collaboration with Rijksmuseum Twenthe — a three day festival about man and machine in the technological future. A program with workshops, lectures, performances, presentations and more.
More information about the studium generale can be found here (in Dutch). Final program and registration are available starting 7 October 2015.
What is embodied learning?
Embodied learning is a form of learning where the whole body is used to get results. In an embodied learning environment, the interaction between body and the space has a central place. The body and physical movement are thus an important interface for learning in a hybrid space (both virtual as physical). The idea behind it is that physical interaction can stimulate existential learning. Wearables, tangible intelligent objects, sensor technology, motion-tracking and interactive video all come together in this way of learning, stemming from physical action.
For this project and the research of the embodied learning options, we collaborated with artist Marloeke van der Vlugt, maker of interactive installations.
