​- Body in Movement –
​Make less the flat! 

"Sometimes movement is flat - it has no nuance, no sensing, no impulse and our receiving of the world and of the other remains flat. How can we wake up our recognition in the pool of life, wake up our understanding, our awareness and our sensorimotor life so that we can feel not flat?" (Suprapto Suryodarmo)

Body in Movement in September and November  is the first workshop of the annual Move into Life cycle where the attention is on your individual movement vocabulary. The practice starts from everyday movements: walking, sitting, standing, crawling, lying down, in all sorts of different ways.

he first suggestion is usually to start from ‘your condition’, from how you are at that time and from your capacity, rather than from anywhere else and there is no fixed form to follow.

My intention over these 2 weekends (through a series of simple movement explorations) is for you to get to know your movement as clearly as possible, as  it is now, and to support your perception of how you move, to stimulate your awareness of your surroundings as you move and to offer suggestions that may expand your movement vocabulary, opening up more choices for you.

You can choose to do just one of the weekends. However I have chosen this format to offer the best possible opportunity for you to develop ‘movement ‘ as a regular creative practice in your life.

If you are continuing with Body in Movement II in November, I'll offer you some suggestions for your own practice over the 2 months and there could be the possibility of regular practice with interim peer sessions, a group online session around the beginning of November  and/or 1:1 sessions, subject to the wishes of the group . 

Maximum 12 people to ensure individual attention. 

Areas of practice:
Yawning, stretching and breathing to enliven the being
Shaping of movement through the articulation of the joints
Body as a constellation with many possible variations
Movement at different levels in space.
Stillness through pausing, stopping, receiving without losing the flow of movement
Choices of rhythm, direction and tone within the flow of movement
Staying and going
Proportion/Scale in gesture and motion
Active/passive in movement – for example initiating and receiving 
Composition in context- with an awareness of  self, place and others = constellation
Moving with objects- introduction to the world of fact and the world of dream 
An approach to voice with movement

“There is a clarity and simplicity in Sandra Reeve's teaching that enables even the most desk- and mind-bound of participants to leave behind any habitual sense of physical awkwardness and explore their body in space like a three-year old.”

We will begin with recognising and following the structure of the body. 

Responding to the movement tasks I suggest for you, you will move in your own way -- and I will support you to realise and appreciate how you already move, and gradually to expand your choice of movement vocabulary and your embodied awareness of your moving self-in-context.

​I see ‘movement as being’ rather than ‘movement as function’: you are your movement rather than you do your movement.​
