FUNDAMENTALS
SOMATIC MOVEMENT & PERFORMANCE PRINCIPLES
"The body is a clear place" - Erick Hawkins
This almost 3 hour weekly training is an opportunity for movers to dive into the fundamentals of somatic movement and performance principles in an explorative and experiential way.
Within the context of integrating our body knowledge in real time composition we zoom in on specific topics to 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.
We will take time to explore and embody different body systems such as the skeletal system, fluid system, fascia or a specific organ.
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.
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.
The workshop will start at 17.00 and will be followed by a soup break at 18.30.
From 19.15 until 20.00 we continue the work and we will end the evening with a public sharing accompanied by other performances.
This sharing will be from 20.00 until approximately 21.00 where we perform sessions with the people who followed the workshop. Also other performers are invited to showcase their work.

**NEW** MONTHLY SESSIONS MUSICAL EMBODIMENT & COMPOSITION
Hosted by Diederick van Rijsewijk. These Monthly Sessions are for:
*Everyone who wants to explore movement qualities through somatic work
*Musicians seeking to deepen physicality in their playing
*Dancers wanting to broaden their practice with musicality and sound
We will move in a curious, embodied, and musical way. Exploring somatic work as a means for composition and artistic expression. Opening up space to research a common ground to listen and create.
Proces of Embodiment:
We turn inwards, opening up a deep listening to specific body systems, hearing time and meeting space from an embodied perception. What is the mind of this body system? And how do we give it life in time and space? What (movement) qualities arise? With the support of our body and a clear reading of time and space we find a tone to create resourcefully.
