An embodied encounter with Bill Viola - Lia Haraki
An Embodied Encounter with Bill Viola
A guided practice on the occasion of Bill Viola. Unspoken with artist @lia_haraki
🟡🟠Saturday 27 June, 11:00 & 12:30
Join artist Lia Haraki for a unique guided visit to Bill Viola's work, experienced through her embodied practice of "Vesseling" and empathetic viewing. Rather than observing the artworks from a distance, participants will be invited to tune into their own bodies, emotions, sensations, and breathing as they experience Viola's powerful video installations.
Through gentle guidance, the tour becomes a shared journey of presence, perception, and empathy, allowing one's inner experience to interact with the creative reality.
No preparation is needed—simply bring your body, your senses, and your breath.
Duration: approximately 50-60 minutes
Language: English
Participation is free but possible by reservation only.
Due to limited availability, advance registration is mandatory.

Μια καθοδηγούμενη πρακτική με αφορμή την έκθεση Bill Viola. Unspoken με τη Λία Χαράκη
🟡🟠Σάββατο 27 Ιουνίου, 11:00 & 12:30
Η καλλιτέχνιδα Λία Χαράκη παρουσιάζει μια μοναδική βιωματική περιήγηση στο έργο του Bill Viola, μέσα από την βιωματική πρακτική του «Vesseling» και την ενσυναισθητική θέαση. Αντί να παρατηρούν τα έργα από απόσταση, οι συμμετέχοντες καλούνται να συντονιστούν με το σώμα, τα συναισθήματα, τις αισθήσεις και την αναπνοή τους, βιώνοντας τις ισχυρές βιντεοεγκαταστάσεις του Viola.
Μέσα από μια ήπια καθοδήγηση, η περιήγηση μετατρέπεται σε ένα κοινό ταξίδι παρουσίας, αντίληψης και ενσυναίσθησης, επιτρέποντας στην εσωτερική εμπειρία να αλληλεπιδράσει με την καλλιτεχνική πραγματικότητα.
Δεν απαιτείται καμία προετοιμασία — αρκεί να φέρετε το σώμα, τις αισθήσεις και την αναπνοή σας.
Διάρκεια: περίπου 50–60 λεπτά
Γλώσσα: Αγγλικά
Η συμμετοχή είναι δωρεάν, αλλά πραγματοποιείται αποκλειστικά με κράτηση.
Λόγω περιορισμένου αριθμού θέσεων, η προκράτηση είναι απαραίτητη.

IntuNition at Sasha Waltz Studios Berlin
WORKSHOPS

Vessel at Bozar Brussels
PERFORMANCE
Our piece VESSELwill be presented in the frame of the ‘Picture Perfect’ exhibition in Bozar Brussels.
The Act of Listening to your own Vessel
It is crazy how many times a day we overstep our own needs, desires and organic flow of being. We are so trained to just get on with our daily work and services to others, that we cannot even listen to what our own needs are, even in our free time. We then end up with anxiety, weight in the chest and we cannot even remember where it came from.
In this master class I will share with you how to practice listening to your own vessel, your body, and all the bodies it contains (the mental, physical, emotional etc..), and share with you ways to allow each one of them to be heard, expressed and nourished, through embodied and somatic practices.
Book presentation in Larnaca
We invite you to a very special evening of a book presentation event of our book ‘Performance works of Lia Haraki’ at the Vasileia M. Anaxagorou Studio in Larnaca. The book which was created with a dream team of collaborators, invites the reader into over two decades of Haraki’s profound artistic inquiry, performance-based experimentation, and deep community entanglement. During the book presentation, Lia, together with some of the contributing authors, including Vasileia Anaxagorou, will share stories, moments, and readings from the book.
Do join us for an evening of sharing how performance lives, breathes, and endures — both on stage, off stage, and on the page.

LONG and short term planning for your creative projects
An online workshop for creatives and artists on ways to organize, plan and prioritize your projects
Reading the Performance and Performing the book
For the last two years we have been creating a book about the works that Lia and her team of collaborators presented from 2003 to 2023. The idea of the book is to speak about how the bodies featured in it experience an ephemeral art form that ends immediately after its presentation. That would be the voices and views of the performers, the academics, the collaborators, the audience members and the journalists.
Our performance ‘Reading the Performance and Performing the book’ is in relation to the process of making the book, so as to see if its content can be recycled and become a newperformance work. On stage will be Lia Haraki, the editor of the book Erica Charalambous and Yiangos Hadjiyiannis.
Our bodies will be responding remembering, reacting and sharing like a living archive.

CHANNELS at the choreography showcase
The solo will be presented in the frame of the Choreography Showcase at the Rialto theatre
Vesseling and Channeling creation -workshop
The workshop 'Vesseling and Channeling Creation' concerns the internal and external processes that the individual goes through during creation. Specifically, Lia uses the word Vesseling to describe the inner processes of care and nurturing of the creator's self and the word Channeling to explain how the creator chooses to externalize, transfer, and communicate his creative world to others.
During the workshop, participants will explore practices and ways to listen and meet their inner needs during creation and conscious ways of externalizing and sharing their creative universe. In addition, they will explore the relationship between their bodies' mental, emotional, and physical sides and the balance between them through voice, movement, meditation techniques, discussion, and writing.
Addressed to
The workshop is for artists or creatives of any genre of art.
