Description
These days, there is a plethora of health regimens, exercise routines and support systems available in the market, but many of us still find ourselves easily fatigued physically and emotionally by the toils of contemporary life. How often do you check in with yourself? What does it mean to be well?
“The Fourth Wall” series debuts this October with the first theme “Arts and Wellness” and opens with “How Am I Today?” talk. Speakers from different fields are brought together to discuss different ways of understanding wellness and how we may reconnect with our body and inner self through creative practices. They include novelist and playwright Chiang Hiu-mei, somatic movement educator David Leung Ka-nang, and clinical psychologist and member of social enterprise StoryTaler Amanda Fu Ching-man, who share with participants ways to feel more comfortable in their own skin.
Also in the same thematic series are two ticketed workshops (TS Ninja, Living in Motion), which offer more in-depth perspectives in applying arts and creative practices to daily life.
