Cross-Currents: Movement and Communication (Workshop 1)

Picture
The Communication Lens
Date: to be announced
Location: Wootton Fitzpaine, West Dorset 

This is the first of two Movement and Communication workshops running over two weekends in 2014. The structure allows room for you to practise what you have learnt on the first weekend and for change to emerge. So I strongly encourage you to come to both weekends if you can. [If not, ideally come to this one rather than the continuation in March unless you have previous experience in Move into Life work.]


Energy, dynamics and relationships are largely invisible processes but the fact that they are invisible does not negate their existence. The work is to make those invisible communication dynamics visible through movement, without losing an awareness of context, so that we can shine a light on our motives, intentions and tendencies in communication with others. 

By following physical sensations in movement , you will be guided to explore and become aware of:
  • How you embody communication - the shape, flow, structure, habits and patterns of your movement when you are with others.
  • Possible variations -how you could embody it differently.
  • Presence in the changing being and in the changing situation.
  • Ways in which you can 'read' group situations through movement.
  • a kinaesthetic awareness of the group dynamics.
  • How you respond to others and how they respond to you.
  • Flexibility and adaptation to the moment.
  • Amplification.
  • How you approach and leave, engage with or avoid other people.


“I would describe Move into Life as an immersion in movement which awakens patterns of behaviour but also reveals new ways of being in the world through contact with myself, others and the environment.”
Themes in motion will include:
  • Greeting and Leaving 
  • Distance and Closeness  
  • Question and Statement  
  • Closed and Open
  • In time and on time

Cost: £120 for the 2 days (excluding accommodation - see the map below to find accommodation locally). Save £10 (making the cost £110) if you book and send your deposit before the early-bird closing date.
