In the wilderness every movement appears from the deeper instinct and from the deep listening to the forest. What if we could dance this way? What if we could embody this deep forest feeling in our dance? This workshop is inspired by somatic techniques, practice of authentic movement and artistic research. We will actively move our muscles, bones, ligaments, listening to our breathing and bodily sensations. Together we will explore intensity, depth and lightness as qualities for movement. We will observe how the words and images of depth influence our dance improvisation: deep woods, deep roots, deep listening, deep calm, deep state of mind, deep down in my being, deep movement.
