Body-Mind Centering® & Dance Impro workshop

❛o❛10/14 spots left
This workshop is open to all bodies curious to explore movement through sensation, experiential anatomy, and pleasure—no prior experience needed. Rooted in Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®), we’ll explore the body’s inner landscapes, where muscles, fluids, organs, and the nervous system become sources of movement, perception, and imagination. Dance emerges from within, guided by sensation before shaping form.
We’ll begin with a gentle warm-up using breath, movement, and voice to release tension and awaken energy, then move into improvisational explorations—playing, sensing, and responding to internal cues and group energy. I’m excited to share playful, guided scores drawn from my 20 years of experience in improvisation, contemporary dance, and physical theater—inviting curiosity, connection, and pleasure.
Together, we create space to move, express, and engage with the body as a living, relational practice.
Facilitator: Amélie Gaulier is a Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) practitioner, mindfulness instructor, somatic movement therapist, and performance improvisation artist.
BMC® informs her artistic practice as a living inquiry into the body’s inner landscapes—where cells, fluids, organs, bones and the nervous system become sites of movement, perception, and imagination. Her work unfolds at the intersection of somatics and performance, where dance emerges from sensation rather than form, and where the body is both archive and unfolding process. Through embodied exploration, she invites movement that listens, disrupts, remembers, and reimagines.
Her approach bridges somatic healing and improvisational practice—engaging the body as a site of intelligence, relation, and transformation. She creates spaces where individuals and groups can listen deeply, move from expression, and encounter the unknown as a generative field. Improvisation becomes both practice and performance: a way of composing in real time, attending to what is present, and giving shape to what is not yet known.
Amélie lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, on unceded Canarsie land. She is a white-bodied, longtime New York transplant.
