Somatic Movement & partnering
A workshop exploring embodied connection and the ways we relate to ourselves and to others through movement.
The workshop combines:
Guided Somatic Presence
Light and gentle partner work
Collective group movement
Reflection and inquiry along the way
We begin with Somatic Presence and our individual exploration through different types of movement qualities to bring attention to the body and felt sensations through the journey.
The focus is on noticing what feels natural, interesting or possible for you in the moment. You’ll be invited to explore movement freely, at your own pace.
The middle section is partner explorations. These exercises are “light-weight” and do not require any known physical technique beforehand.
This part is about meeting another person through movement; noticing, responding, following, leading, mirroring and finding different ways of connecting without using words. We´ll explore what happens when movement becomes something shared.
→ Partner work is an element of the workshop, but you do not need to come with a partner. You can come on your own and will be paired with someone during the workshop.
Last part brings us together in collective movement; what changes when we move alongside and within a group, how individual movement becomes part of a shared rhythm, and how we can be aware of ourselves while also responding to the people and space around us.
Throughout the workshop there will be moments of inquiry and reflection. These are opportunities to pause, notice and share what you are experiencing.
