Blue Moon, Grey Cliffs, White Waves 
​- Environmental Movement: May 2016

Picture

An outdoors, environmental movement workshop held on the shoreline near Charmouth and led by Sandra Reeve. 

Dates: Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday ~ 20th - 22nd May, 2016
Location: Charmouth, West Dorset 


​How can we rediscover a sense of being part of the world we live in - rather than seeing the world as just ‘being there for us’? 

Can you perceive your movement as part of the shifting patterns of movement in nature?  

On the sand, under the cliffs or on broad, flat rocks by the sea, feel your elemental, embodied self responding to the land. All is in motion. How does your movement vocabulary change when you go from a room to the beach, to the rocks or to the sea? - when the sky becomes your ceiling and the horizon becomes your boundary wall? Changes in the weather, changes in your mood – all of this is movement.

Through simple activities and movement scores, you will be guided to explore and become aware of:

•    a sense of scale or proportion in motion
•    cycles of activity and receptivity
•    staying and going; going within staying and staying within going
•    the relationship between movement and seeing
•    point, line, and angle and ecological perception
•    moving from touch, moving from hearing/listening and sounds 

Themes in this workshop will include:
 
•    body memory 
•    awareness of the wider constellation
•    boundaries and context

There will be a night-time movement session under the blue moon.

This workshop includes an introduction to specific environmental movement dynamics, which can be used as training tools for outdoor and immersive movement skills: active/passive, proportions, transition/position and point-line-angle.

Who can attend?

The workshop (nearly all outdoors) is open to adults of all ages. You don’t need (and won’t be expected to have) any experience of Move into Life or other theatre/dance/movement work to attend this workshop.

This workshop is popular with performers, teachers, therapists and health practitioners, and anyone interested in just moving/being on the shoreline.
