SOMATIC MOVEMENT & PERFORMANCE PRINCIPLES

"When you eat eat, when you sleep sleep."

This almost 3 hour weekly training is an opportunity for movers to dive into this experiential practice.
We will take time to explore and embody different body systems such as the skeletal system, fluid system, fascia, organs.
We'll use hands-on, witnessing and reflection. When we engage and bring our 'mind' to a system this experience will inform and transform our postural habits and widen our movement vocabulary. This will give insight on our movement qualities, perceptual awareness and creative process.
Within the context of integrating our body knowledge in real time composition we gain awareness and experience on our alignment; both body and body/mind. How to bridge and translate this experience within a complex context is part of this training.
During the course of the year we will bring more focus to the fundamentals of performance: what makes a composition and how do we read a composition from both inside the work or as a viewer? Weight is given to musical embodiment - practicing deep listening, hearing while doing, understanding phrasing of material and how narrative emerges.
These are topics that will be addressed by doing, watching, reflecting, writing: all starting from a somatic experience.

This training is open for movers with or without experience that wish to commit to this work.

EXPERIMENT:
Shared Practice in the morning

Not a morning rave but a morning Shared Practice.
What is the frame? We enter and start with a short circle – into a non-guided move your body – into embodiment – into real time composition. A teacher is present to hold the space.
With this one time experiment we are curious if people are interested in starting the (work) day like this on a regular basis.

EXPERIMENT:
Somatic morning class

Do you like to end the work week with a 1 ½ hour somatic movement class and ease yourself into the weekend? Come for this one time experiment! We would be curious if people are interested for these drop in morning classes in our program.
