What happens when we shift from viewing our bodies as a single entity to experiencing our bodies as a community of diverse members each with their own experience, position and stories?
 
 You are invited to join Poh and Helena in taking up a  position with our bodies as multi-storied and experientially co-researching what may emerge through these nuanced, playful and political practices. 
 
In this workshop Helena and Poh  will share experiential exercises and stories of practice to discuss the possibilities that flow from a multi-storied invitation to our bodies to participate – with specific attention to consent and practices ‘with’ rather than ‘on’. These practices have been co-produced in conversations across diverse contexts and in response to experiences of displacement, injustice and exclusion. 
 
We are curious to circle themes such as 

• including our bodies in meaningful participation throughout conversations
• disrupting ‘truth’ status and taken for granted conclusions and assumptions 
• resisting totalising/single storied accounts of experience
• resisting isolation with collaborative, community centered practices 
• Micro-practices to support staying with and alongside people in their articulation of experience and storying accounts of their lives and identities
• Practices that center politics and the operation of power between the different members of our bodies
