Workshop: Miles Worner

Becoming a Duck

with Miles Worner

17 Oct 2021

Do you feel like a cog in the machine? Are you stuck in a routine? As a counterpoint to modern stress and competition in today's highly industrialized society, Miles Worner explored the need for frivolity. Inspired by the spontaneous behavior of ducks in the park he constructed a philosophy and practice, "The Way of The Duck. At the core of the belief is a rebellious need to be silly, use the body to its full potential and explore the world with naivety - just do as ducks do. Why not swim in circles, balance on one leg and suddenly flee because you feel like it? Miles sees it as a dose of much-needed game in a repressive rectilinear system; let's rediscover our instincts.
