Authentic Movement
September 8 @ 14:30 - 17:00
An introduction to Authentic Movement – suitable for beginners or more experienced practitioners. No previous experience of any kind of dance required. Just a curiosity to know your own inner experience with more clarity.
Join Tracy for a gentle afternoon of somatic movement.
Trained in the Discipline of Authentic Movement, Tracy will introduce this simple form to you in which the movers move with their eyes closed, without music and following their own inner impulse, in the presence of a witness who has their eyes open.
After the movement, Tracy will guide you to find images and words to describe your inner experiences to bring more conscious awareness through your body. You will begin to perceive and discern the layers of sensation, emotion, thought and image that make up your internal experience. This is a co-creative ‘field’ of conscious enquiry, in which movers and the witness are equal contributors.
Developed by Janet Adler, this form of Authentic Movement is sometimes described a mystical practice, in which we develop witness consciousness through the body. Please note, that it is a deep practice and early somatic memories and imprints can surface. Please ensure you feel well resourced or have your own therapist to be able to process whatever might come up.
Tracy’s approach is to focus on what is present – to learn how to be in our bodies, to be with ourselves, each other and our environments more fully so that we can be more present in our day to day lives, and experience our own aliveness.
Cost: £30
Concessions available – please ask Tracy. Please contact Tracy directly for further information or to book your place: [email protected] or phone 07588 871843
