This class offers an open space for the sharing of knowledge resulting from practice in several somatic techniques. We will focus on breath, internal structure, weight and the body’s articulations and organization, as a way to fine-tune our own needs and our own range of mobility. As the class progresses we look to integrate the parts of the body and the use of the floor. We will move in this collective space through improvisations and set phrase material. The phrase will be provided to be used for individual explorations: to manipulate it, to follow it, to watch it, to reinterpret or to copy it. This class is the result of personal investigations and is influenced by many years of study and work with Jeremy Nelson, Klein-Mahler Technique, Alexander Technique™, BodyMind-Centering® and the Feldenkrais Method.
