My thanks to you all for being open to taking part in something so experimental! This workshop has been a long time coming, and represents some of the most important self-learning I have done & continue to do in this lifetime ๐ Itโs an honor to share that with you all and I truly hope you take away something sustainably useful from the experience.
The purpose of this workshop is to offer the space / encourage the possibility of moving in ways that your body usually does not (even though it can!) I hope and expect to be just as surprised as you by what we discover given more time x space than the average day affords.
Weโll be playing around with exercises and activities that draw from:
- Dance
- Improv
- Injury rehab
- Functional movement techniques
- Meditation
- A smattering of strange poetryโฆ
Building on this^ foundation, themes guiding the workshop include:
- Slowness
- Curiosity
- Arcs, curves, spirals
- Breath
- Plant thinking
- Metaphor
- Gravity & grace
- Rhythm
- and play!!
Exploration rather than performance, no background in anything required except being a human bean ๐
