- Authentic Movement as ressource for creative processes
DE+EN | 2-day workshop with Heike Kuhlmann
Authentic Movement creates a space in which the mover enters the not-knowing. The mover asks herself and the space which movement she should make next, which inner impulses she should follow.
What does this workshop focus on?
At the same time they are expressed and witnessed by the mover with her movements in the space. The witness gives her attention and presence to the mover. In the further development of the practice of Authentic Movement by Janet Adler, there is a process of reflection following the movement time. Through certain forms of exchange, this creates a space for exploring individual and collective processes.
Who is this workshop for?
This weekend is for artists (of any art discipline) who are engaged in a particular artistic process; people who enjoy immersing themselves in their own creative processes as well as people with an interest in the practice of Authentic Movement.
Heike Kuhlmann shares her own practice in which Authentic Movement is an important part of her artistic research practices. Different formats will be presented that enable the processing of (artistic) questions.
This event can be booked seperately or as module of the continuing education Emerge. Please don´t hesitate to contact Heike Kuhlmann directly if you have questions.

Ausführliche Seminarinformationen
EMERGE Continuing Education // Somatics in Dance, Choreography & Performance
Concept: Heike Kuhlmann & Katja Münker
Lecturers: Andrea Keiz, Heike Kuhlmann, Susanne Martin, Katja Münker & Andrew Wass
Emerge // Somatics in Dance, Choreography & Performance is a 250-hour, modular, in-service specialization in Somatic Pedagogy for use in artistic, creative, performative & educational professions.
The sentient body and the experience/experiencing of oneself in movement and in interaction with the environment are the focus of this dance-choreographic advanced training.
The methods Body-Mind Centering®, Feldenkrais Method and Authentic Movement form the basis for movement trainings and aesthetic research. With improvisation and composition strategies, these experiences are made creatively creative and performative-artistic usable. This enables the development of individual dance abilities in their deep, embodied potential. Connected to the somatic experience, choreographic criteria and tools are taught. The participants are thus accompanied through an artistic development process in which they (further) develop their own present, powerful and subtle penetration of movement as an aesthetic form and conclude with a presentation.
For whom is Emerge recommended?
This continuing education is aimed at educators, therapists, teachers, dancers, dance/theater educators, choreographers and anyone who wants to implement creative action and relaxed, confident performance in their everyday life or profession.
What does Emerge promote?
- Development of somatic-choreographic action through a strengthening of sensory reference in decision-making and in the use of choreographic strategies.
- Unfolding creativity through training in strategies for shaping individual and collaborative creative processes, strategies for overcoming creative blocks.
- Deepening embodiment through body awareness training (being at home in the body), strengthening the body's own resources and sensory reference in movement.
- Performativity by strengthening individual and collective expressiveness, by strengthening sensory references in public performance, in solo and group performances and in application in individual areas of interest.
What does Emerge include?
The Emerge continuing education is modular. It is possible to join at any time. The completion is based on
- participation in 250h compulsory & elective modules,
- participation in 3h somatic & 3h artistic coaching each,
- artistic contributions to the workshop-internal performance shows,
- Documentation of the individual somatic process (max 5 pages) and
