Rahel’s class draws from her own movement research, her experience in Body-Mind Centering and Aikido. She investigates the different movement qualities of the body’s physiological systems focusing on the volume/ support of the organs and the connection of the centre to extremities and space. Rahel works with developmental patterns leading to phrases on the floor as well as standing, using a combination of set material and improvisation.

Starting from somatic based principles, class will look at ways of integrating sound, touch, visualized imagery, and movement. It will draw on Sally’s movement research in Indonesia to introduce new awareness of our culturally determined movement habits, expanding our potential vocabulary. Inspired by her background in Amerta Movement (Suprapto Suryodarmo), Skinner Releasing Technique, Butoh and Body-based Theatre.
