Open to artists and other practitioners who are looking at a transition in their practice, perhaps thinking about pausing or are simply working very slowly. Also for those with a current interest in age and ageing. No particular training or background is necessary!

The main emphasis will be to work with Feldenkrais Method using a series of Awareness Through Movement lessons each day, developing the connections to how we sense ourselves. With a focus on dynamic stability in movement, using the ground as support in action. This will include working in a way that encourages each individual to move at their own pace, sometimes quite small and gentle, with an emphasis on listening to your own process in somatics and learning to utilise rest as part of your practice.

LIMITED CAPACITY. BOOKING REQUIRED.
Please send a short paragraph about yourself and why you wish to participate at this time and also which workshop dates you wish to attend.
