Movement and Communication: February 2019

Picture
The Communication Lens
Me and You and Others
​Date: 9th-10th February 2019  
Location: Wootton Fitzpaine, West Dorset 

  • This workshop is useful for developing improvisational skills beyond action/reaction as well as for all those working with groups and group dynamics. 

  • The crucial question is this:
  • How can I develop the awareness to follow what I need to do/how I need to be and still be able to respond to the needs of the other/of a group? 

By following physical sensations in your 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.
  • Amplification and possible variations -- how you could embody it differently.
  • The role of rhythm in relationships.
  • How to 'read' group situations through movement.
  • Noticing how you respond to others and how they respond to you.
  • Flexibility and adaptation to the moment in the moment -- not late

Inevitably our attitudes to one another are always present in the way we move. And we can play with those attitudes by moving differently, by embodying different expressions of life in our dance or in our movement. A first step is to recognise that every moment is a co-creation -- we are never wholly responsible and we are never uninvolved.

Over this weekend, we will explore, through movement, the communication that happens between us in the changing moment, identifying, accepting and disrupting habits as a way of opening up new choices and opening up a new movement vocabulary.
