About Silke Michels
I'm a Visual/Performance Artist and Mindfulness teacher.
I also work as an art facilitator in education and health and offer creative wellbeing courses/coaching. This work is strongly emphasised by inclusion and equality to offer a safe space for a creative process to unfold.
In my work I am interested in the inner and outer landscape and How to belong and be part of it? Can we ever not belong? I am exploring a sense of Belonging and Identity through an ecological awareness in creating films that witnesses the presence and attentiveness within the wilder nature through the body. Each movement informed through deep listening. Being quiet in body and mind.
Movement and Stillness are equally important in my work and life. The silence between the sounds.
I am re-defining a belonging to a wider ecology through a deep conversation within the landscape. By letting the body become one with the elements and giving up on the separation towards other living beings. We are only one part of the intelligence on this planet.
