- Time to Move - Time to be still // Feldenkrais Method in Dance, Choreography & Performance
Workshop & module of the continuing education Emerge with Katja Münker
The conscious and multifaceted interplay of skeletal movement, perception, nervous system and alignment in space form the field of play in both the Feldenkrais Method and dance.
What does this workshop focus on?
In this workshop we use the stimulation of movement presence with the Feldenkrais Method to modulate, vary and compose our dance. Always creating the choice to be in movement or in stillness is the basic prerequisite for the development of individual expression and ensemble interplay.
For whom is this event recommended?
It invites anyone with somatics or movement experience and who
- is looking for regeneration in movement and creativity in stillness
- want to bring Feldenkrais into larger movement in space
- want to incorporate body-awareness practice into dance and choreography
- want to gain a first insight into the training EMERGE Somatik in dance or
- want to do an in-depth training in Somatics in Dance
This event can be booked seperately or as module of the continuing education Emerge. Please don´t hesitate to contact Katja Münker directly if you have questions.
Ausführliche Seminarinformationen
How does practicing the Feldenkrais Method look like?
Although the Feldenkrais Method is based on movement and despite its amazing effects on individual movement ability, it is not gymnastics. Rather, it is a method to learn learning. It facilitates access to unused capacities of our brain. Thereby, the Feldenkrais Method enables learning and development for the whole organism.
In the field of movement it creates ease, effortlessness, choices and skillfulness. It fosters economy, coordination and inner logic of individual movement.
