Madeleine Botet de Lacaze: Astrology for Artists

10.30-5.30pm. £25. Includes £8 ticket to see Carrying Stones at Chelsea Theatre (15 November).

Led by Argentine-born artist Madeleine Botet Lacaze, Astrology for Artists invites artists to explore the links between Astrology and the ways in which we express, act, think, feel but – most importantly – the ways we search, get inspired and create work. 

In advance of the workshop, Madeleine will read and draw up each participating artist’s Astrological Natal Chart, showing what the sky looked like at the exact moment of their birth. This will be the starting point for discussion, reflection, physical exercises and visualizations, exploring creative processes from an unusual, highly personal perspective.

Madeleine’s practice focuses on the body’s relationship to identity, belonging and presence; creating intimate interdisciplinary performances that question our perception of corporality. Encounters with a diversity of cultures and spiritual practices throughout her life and practice – including astrologers and shamans – have been a strong influence on her ongoing artistic research.

Madeleine will also be performing her newest work Carrying Stones at Chelsea Theatre on 15 November as part of SACRED (details here). We have secured concessionary rate tickets (£8) for all participants of the Astrology for Artists workshop. Details to follow upon booking.
