In August, my inspiration is the Bartenieff Fundamentals concept of Kinetic Chains!
Recognizing the energy that moves us as we move - and observing, playing with, exploring and integrating these flows - this is our template for August.
We often move ourselves in patterned ways, grooved into our neuromuscular pathways, without any real awareness of our bodily intention, experience or initiation, without feeling where our support comes from and how we are connected (or disconnected) from this support, and the ways we could move with more ease and less exertion, if we invite ourselves to explore and let go of the familiar.
And while this sort of unobserved, unconscious movement is incredibly helpful when we simply want to get our body to a different place, and while it can be easy to take this sort of body capacity for granted, it is also this unobserved, unconscious movement that we take for granted that can create situations of disconnect that challenge us - disconnect from our Body, disconnect between Body and Mind, disconnect between our Selves and Others, disconnect between parts of the Body, disconnect from our Selves as a whole, somatic beings.
Exploring the pathways of kinetic connectedness is one way to awaken options and give ourselves choices we didn’t even know we had!
***************************************
All embodied awareness begins with allowing ourselves to Be present in our body and the space we inhabit, inside and outside of us, in movement and in stillness.
Using the language of somatic movement education, embodiment and fundamental movement patterns of connectivity, Victoria will guide you to more easily and deeply practice being embodied, in movement and in stillness, to expand your relationship with trust, desire and the act of manifesting.
All types of bodies and levels of experience are welcome!
