THE RITUAL WITHIN
Artistic research and ongoing work, since 2022
The Ritual Within is an ongoing artistic, somatic and relational research. It is an inquiry into the soma and the senses, and what it might mean in the current world to find, pursue and share rituals of one’s own.
The basis of the work are five intimate personal rituals - somatic meditations, body and voice practices - which I have developed and practiced over years as a means to ground, center, mend, (re-)connect and attune to myself, my human and more-than-human environment.
Aiming to create simple and easily accessible, yet always immersive formats, The Ritual Within sets out to share these rituals, to make them perceivable, encounterable, and hopefully recycable. In gentle ways questions about the body and its aliveness, voicing oneself and listening, as well as questions on desires, belonging and contribution are asked, and a space for connecting, shelter, care and repair is offered.
As an ongoing work I understand The Ritual Within to have possibly infinite iterations. It appears as sound installation, performance, one-on-one-encounter, shared group practice, intuitive drawings, audio guide and many more.
