SESSIONS
EMBODIED ANATOMY + SOMATIC MOVEMENT ARTS
"the body is our original mother tongue..."
— Esther Perel
creature (n.)
• something created
• a living being; an animate being
• to come forth, spring up, grow, thrive, swell
CREATURE SESSIONS are a gently guided somatic movement arts exploration. Re-membering and re-discovering body as creative map and resource.
We are held and informed by the primordial tides as we awaken the oceanic body of intelligence, creativity and rhythm... These explorations are crafted to awaken the poetic and parasympathetic praises of body, nervous system, psyche and collective web of embodiment.
Through awareness + breath practices, sensing, visualization, free movement/dance and creative inquiry + practice we aspire to resource a deeper awareness and understanding of our embodied anatomy and personal mythology.
We begin with exploring a general theme together (an organ, body system, concept/theme, etc.), weaving a collective web of imagination and then enter into a contemplative solo experience of free movement and transitioning into a creative inquiry + practice. This process allows the opportunity for us to intuitively access the somatic process through art, to land into a tangible perspective of our inner worlds to interact and communicate with.
No dance or art experience required
Every-Body welcome
Art supplies provided + BYO
