Description

These weekends are opportunities to take a deep dive into (rather than a quick tour of) various topics. We’ll take time to explore the details and practice the forms, and to see how repetition and exploration can support the ability to blend, distill or personalize a movement practice. Each weekend will have a focus on a movement form (such as the Bartenieff Fundamentals, or a movement pattern from Body-Mind Centering®, or LMA’s Spatial Scales) synthesized with ideas from other somatic practices, developmental movement, physiology, anatomy, kinesiolog, and embryology. There are no prerequisites for these workshops, and no previous experience is required.
