‘Alice Night is easily one of the most embodied artists I have ever encountered. Her coaching is a reminder to turn towards your deep archetypal nature. Her techniques quickly connect you to your true self and creativity flows from there.’ – Nathalie Brewer – 1:1 creativity coaching client.
THE BODIES OF ART JOURNEY – Investment: $3900 AUD upfront – payment plans available. $375 / month over 12 months.
Can you allow your art to give you life?
During this nine month journey you will be asked to put your ear to the ground and really listen, to pay homage to your dreams and wild psyche. To carve out proper time for your creative freedom and aliveness. To show us who you really are, and in turn show the world also.
Your guide Alice Night has a very intuitive way of curating a creative learning environment and prompts honesty, playfulness, courageous creativity and imaginative instinct. Sessions are both curated and intuited based on the needs of the individuals in the group each year. Alice ask that we get comfortable with the mess and mystery of creativity and she embodies this mystery as a facilitator.
No prior study in creative fields is required, however your sincere willingness to be in the adventure of your artistry is essential.
Allowing intimacy with art is allowing intimacy with self

What kind of a guide is Alice?
I’m devoted to making art that is honest, intimate and interacts with culture. I spend my days creating, exploring, collaborating, singing, writing, reading, painting, connecting and being. I spend my nights engaged in creative spaces like gigs, theatre events and facilitating spaces for creative empowerment.
I believe in the healing, connecting and visionary power of art.
I’m not a vocal coach, I’m an instinct coach. I’m not a writing editor, I’m a story midwife. I create spaces where people create art that is transformative for them and in turn potentially transformative for culture.
I invite that we move into liberated cultural and personal expression through art making. I love to work with courageous individuals who are ready to be activated in their artistic lives.
I hold BoA to remind people how to trust themselves so that they don’t need anyone else to tell them that they’re good or that they deserve to create.
I speak to the naturalness and humanness of storytelling and wild expression. Through writing, singing, drawing, moving, we lean into the icky subjects and emotions to create conditions for transformation.
The spaces I hold are relaxed, playful, courageous and deep.

The Experience – The Themes

FERTILE TIME
Preparing for creation. Unhinging ourselves from old patterns. Developing trust in self.
We will create the space both externally and internally that will allow wild art to come through. We will name and call in the full vision we can see ourselves living out as artists in the world. We will begin healing our relationships with creativity through first creating and experiencing fertile time.
CONCEPTION – (RHYTHM & RESOURCES)
Calling in your new body of work. Communing with the unknown.
Saying yes and meaning it.
Here we will enter into the ritual space that our art is asking of us. This way it is not simply a mental decision to create but rather a spirited conversation with the mysterious through creativity.
We explore different rhythms to create within and the inner and outer resources required to make this possible.


UNTAMED – (EDGE ART & WILDNESS)
Ritual and imaginative health. Shameless experimentation. Making sacrifices for art.
During this month you will open to places you’ve never been before in your art, the ones that have been calling to you for a long time. Here you’ll explore your true creative nature. You will meet your dream spaces, your wild imagination, the unsayable, underworld realms, spirited narrative and the golden flickers of creative ideas.
You will welcome them all home to your studio space, to the canvas, to the empty page, to the dance floor or to all of the above and share them with the BoA community as you feel.
THRESHOLDS – (SHOWING UP)
The art of discipline, the discipline of art. Releasing blame. Shameless devotion. Doing the work.
We focus on embodying the day to day study, devotion, rigor, practice and selflessness that is necessary to create anything of great girth and worth.
This is the harder part of being an artist, not just having ideas but actually committing to them, choosing one thing and sticking with it, being chosen by a project and meeting the call.
This thing ain’t gonna write itself, and yet, in some ways it just might, when we get into the slip-stream words flow, paint moves, songs arrive – but first we have to show up, again and again and again.


HONESTY & HEALING – (HONING YOUR PRACTICE)
Courage in art. Creating in the unknown. Creative commitment in the face of challenge.
In any great project there will be monsters that we attempt to avoid. Whether that is a technical skill we have been refusing to learn, a character we are afraid to write, or something so beautiful we can barely fathom its form. In month five you are asked to embody the courage and heart required to love all that is revealed in you as you create.
Artists must embody elements of the warrior if they are to walk in the strange dark forests, the critical responses from others, and the total spectrum of being human. Here we practice being steadfast and staying.
ALCHEMY – (INVITING TRANSFORMATION)
Welcoming invisible support. The beauty realm. Wholeheartedness. Fidelity to your project.
Here we look at (and intentionally experience) the art of transformation in your story or creative work. Artistic alchemy requires a moment or stage of transformation both in the creator and in the characters they depict in their art.
When we work in this way we are willing to arrive in a place that is different from where we began. We experience a mythological realm both in art and in our own lives as we create. We allow ourselves to be truly vulnerable, for our hearts to open, and for our lives to change alongside a genuine investment in this creative process.


CATHARSIS – (ALL OF ME)
Dancing the weird. Working with your allies. Embracing your whole wild creative self.
Now we ask the question again, what parts of me have I left behind? What have I still been refusing to include or engage with?
We step out again into the mystery and welcome all forbidden parts to join in the art party. We open to the strange new world that has been calling to us through our creation time and say ‘Welcome.’
We animate that wild spirited energy that is available in deep creative flow when we invite our whole selves to the table, to the forest or to the room.
FORMATION & CREATION
Spirited editing and intuitive curation. The hard yards. Bringing in the art we need.
Here we comb through the work and intuitively edit or curate what has come through. This is not the final draft necessarily, but it is your final draft. It is all that you can do before working collaboratively towards final formation. Editing is possibly harder than creating. It requires choice, letting go, seeing the gaps and attending to them. This is the nitty-gritty stuff, the final marks, the willingness to admit when something is not at its full potential and going in again to creation when needed.


GESTATION
During this time we will open to where your art wants to land and live in the world. We will share avenues and possibilities for further production, performance, publishing etc and discuss and explore experimental approaches to releasing your art also.
EMERGENCE – INTO THE WORLD (BIRTH)
Arriving in the world as an artist. A new way.
Here we deliver our new work into the world. This could be a public reading of your play, it could be an initial exhibition of visual art or a novella manuscript that is printed and ready to be shared with an editor or a trusted friend. It could be the final mixes of an album or a suite of poems with chapters and a title.
We cannot use money as an excuse as to why something is not ready, we are prompted to find a way; to be innovative and birth this art into the world. We breathe a sigh of deep relief and hold the new work with loving arms. We show ourselves and the world that we are devoted to creation and we have evidence to back that claim. We embrace the wildness and the discipline that made this possible.


ALIVENESS – INITIATION
Here we ask a very intimate question, how is your art landing in culture? Is it feeding and nourishing the village? Is it feeding and nourishing you? Is it healthy? Is there catharsis?
Does it give life? This reflective approach is a great way to stay honest and create art that is not only wild and raw but also life-giving and connected to a larger human story and a story beyond our species.
HOMECOMING
Wild Findings
Here you are asked to express the journey you embarked on to arrive at this next level in your relationship with art and with yourself. Honouring the alchemy and transformational nature of art and specifically the art that you created over this year.
This will be a document, film or audio recording for you to share with your wider community and also to remind yourself of the creative energy available to you in years to come. You are invited to weave in poetry, imagery, documentation of process from across the year, whatever brings this Wild Finding to life in its expression.

All the artworks featured above have been created by participants.
Deep gratitude for ‘Homecoming’ Collage by Kayla Kirkpatrick. Sally Guildford.

SOVEREIGNTY – (THE RITUAL)
This experience will be different for each participant. It could be a celebration. It could be an extended time you spend solo in nature. It could be an intimate exhibition or ceremony shared with friends and family. Here you are asked to curate your own ritual experience of naming and claiming your devotion to your arts practice. This is a kind of wild marriage. You then share photographs or your vows with the Master of Wild Arts group.
What you see in the world no-one else sees quite like you.
Why Bodies of Art exists
I have a deep faith in the role of art for personal and cultural reconciliation and deep healing. Artists can be visionaries, can be the one willing voice in a sea of silence. I see finished artworks like dandelion seeds that we make a wish with to send out into the world. This course is for personal catharsis and reclaiming our rights as wild creative beings. It is also a form of artistic activism in a time of shifting needs. Bodies of Art acknowledges diversity in artistic intention. Whether you want to share your work with thousands of people or sing to whales, BoA will hold space for your vision. This is a place to re-establish your own trust in your creative nature.
What’s the next step?
If you feel this course is resonant, then you may apply directly with Alice via email alice@alicenight.com
A love of art, a love of learning and a sincere willingness for your life to change through this creative initiation process will serve you well as a student in the BoA course. It is a boundary pushing course that is woven with love. We are open to the ridiculous, to the profound, to the simple, to the never before seen, to the things you most want to say.
BoA creates a very intimate creative container among participants.
Are you ready for your art to give life?
