A site-adaptive exploration/workshop led by Melanie Kloetzel and Phil Smith (of Wrights & Sites) that explores publicly-accessible “hidden spaces” with an eye toward nurturing the self-world connection.

Through a workshop format (already taken place in Liverpool, Teignmouth, Exeter, and Plymouth, UK to date), Kloetzel and Smith examine the connections between inner reflection, subtle physical play and public space. A series of movement meditations aids participants in an examination of their interiorities through inherently active methodologies. Using as a premise the fact that our inner lives are under increasing scrutiny and surveillance, the collected meditations encourage participants to put down their phones and tablets to reclaim a healthy and active lifestyle, one that is highly integrated with and inspired by local environs.
