3Bodies: Composition
This is a movement-based class to connect more deeply with the whole self, reinhabiting our expressive physical form through use of imagery, story, drawing/writing, prop-based exploration, partner/group dynamics and freeform dance. Inspired by dance, qigong, meditation, Butoh, and other somatic practices, we light up our creative pathways to live more in our authentic self, showing up in a way that reflects one's genuine self without holding back or conforming. Valuable for everyone, this practice is also beneficial to artists, dancers, actors, musicians, as creative movement encourages flow to one's creative process and enhances creative impulses.
3Bodies: Connections
Designed to equip the aging body with tools to navigate changes in both our internal and external resources, this class pulls from a wide range of movement systems to bring awareness to existing pain-free pathways and to discover new ones. Not bound by fixed technical forms, range of motion, coordination, balance and flexibility are supported and strengthened through creative play. All movements can be adapted for sitting, and encourage participants to show up as they are, exercising agency in their health and vitality. Exercises inspired by various somatic modalities including yoga, qigong, and creative movement.
