ABOUT

This two-day workshop focuses on self-exploration and somatic healing through contact improvisation and bodywork in nature.

We will start from to find connection in between our somatic body and the nature, following the subtle movements that nature guides you while staying calm and quiet.

We will take time for solo expressions and contemplations while practicing the basics of contact impro as we embrace rolling over the earth, trees, rocks and roots.

WS contents include,

・Body anatomy

・Cranial sacral biodynamics(＊1)

・Authentic movement(＊2)

・Round Robin(＊3)

・Writings

(＊1)

Grounded in the fundamental understanding that the human organism naturally turns toward health and self-healing. (Think of a plant growing through obstacles toward the light.) We have all had moments, even if brief, of feeling at one with ourselves and the world around us. These experiences of calmness, centeredness or joy are expressions of health and well-being at our deepest core.

(＊2)

Authentic Movement is a meditative, intuitive, improvisational movement practice involving a mover and a witness. It is a practice of listening, attunement; slowing and opening to a deeper sensing of body and psyche.

(＊3)

The round robin is one of the foundational formats to practice and perform Contact Improvisation. It involves the formation of a circle by participants, in the middle of which one person begins a solo then is joined by another to form a duet. After some time, a person from the circle enters the space and a transitional trio emerges until one person leaves the dance and goes back to the circle.
