Anatomy of Presence

Each person has their own unique relationship to the sensations in their body, and to their awareness of their relationship to gravity. By traveling around and inside our bodies consciously and playfully, we can shift our attention to different bones, muscles and to new areas we’ve never noticed before; essentially taking ourselves apart while dancing, in order to put ourselves back together again as integrated moving beings. This is the journey we will take together in this workshop, as I guide you in exploring and discovering your individual body map. The tools we’ll be using are breathing, grounding, centering, balance, play and discovery. Our focus will be tuning in closely to our sensorial experiences and our creative impulses. Our mission will be to visualize and sense our actual physical anatomy, to integrate this new awareness without effort, and to use that as a spring board to creating new expanded movement possibilities in our dance, and in our daily lives.
