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.
Arriving into a sensitized-grounded-centred self, we’ll expand awareness and movement into space and composition. Entering the ‘open score’ of group improvisation, we’ll practice shifting our attention between witnessing and action using both vision and touch. As we attune to the dance of the ensemble we’ll focus on how we support the space. Maybe less is more, stillness as valuable as movement? We’ll look at ideas of the tableau, of flocking and swarming as techniques for sculpting and enlivening space.
