The Somatic Improvisation Experience...
Feel supported, grounded and connected in surrounding environments...
Soothe the nervous system and balance stress hormones...
Cultivate and embody your unique imagination...
In the first phase of this practice, focus remains on easing/ releasing excess tension and blocked energy. I aim to avoid excess influence over this personal practice. Together, we explore, towards a sense of holistic support through the breath, interoceptive practices, and methods of attaining greater core support and body-organization. This may lead to fully embodied movement expressions, or to subtle movements—This depends on your personal flow.
If guidance is desired during facilitations/ lessons, to begin physical mobilization, I utilize guided imagery and concepts such as Anatomy Trains (relating to the myofascial system) and energy meridians. We then gain greater mobility by familiarizing ourselves with efficient body organizations and actions, driven by the support of both inner and outer Space. This functional phase leads us into an exploration of embodied shifts of focus. From a structural focus on the body, we shift into a qualitative exploration of effortful variation, investigating our personal and interconnected relationships to Time, Space, Weight and Flow.
We expand upon this awareness by progressing into a holistic dance between grounding, centering, shifting, diving into creative processes, and reflecting back-within a collaborative flow. Throughout these practices, we may discover personal meanings behind the shapes we make with our bodies, the pathways we use to form them, the effortful qualities in which we function, and our preferential patterns, in terms of dimensions/ planes in space.
Through this practice, we may learn about our patterns of judgement, acceptance, progression, and even the ways we get stuck as we move through the world. There is no one exclusive, definitive goal to these sessions, besides personal intention. It may be useful for integration/ general processing, releasing blocked emotional baggage, expressing one’s personal artistry, settling nerves, exciting nerves...
The possibilities are likely endless. The choice (intention) is yours at the start of each practice.
Before concluding this practice with grounding/ centering elements (space for personal clarification), aim to give everyone a chance to reflect further into their independent process, through drawing, journaling, and/or continued dialogue when appropriate.
For Private Sessions and Group experiences, please wear comfortable clothing which does not restrict your explorative experience. Optional hands-on assistance will be offered, only for the purposes of refining proprioceptive and kinesthetic sensitivity, while establishing safe and effective alignment and movement patterns/ postures... This functional movement assistance is not meant to inhibit or change personal flow/ expression. Verbal/ Nonverbal Communication is key during these sessions, to ensure both practitioner and participant have a safe, comfortable collaborative experience.
