MOVEMENT
I am a teacher, facilitator, and guide in the art of movement. At the core of my teaching, I serve as the bumper lanes of guiding you as you create yourself, from yourself. I believe your body and it's experiences possess it’s own very unique language to learn, draw from, and create with.
Initially starting on the outside and gradually over time working our in, we work with a full sensory experience, exploration of impulse, presence and embodiment.
We learn how access our individual language and meet our options of what is waiting to be said. We can then learn how to utilize different aspects of conscious choice and agency to articulate the “what” and the “how” of what is waiting to be said through movement.
I facilitate these experiences through my unique methodology I’ve developed (with so much love and care) over the last decade, and woven into Reclaiming Resilience Somatic Arts. It is composed of many elements integrated inside of it such as Somatic Experiencing, working with nervous system states and impulse, and energetics.
It is offered through both floor-based movement with no experience or apparatus needed, as well as the medium of pole dance. Each tier of my curriculum is guided by and anchors into these core principles and structure:
Beginning as a fluid and formless art which is then shaped and brought to life through each individual’s lived experiences, my methodology is inherently accessible, as it is rooted in a framework of abstract yet collective understanding within the human experience.
As we move through this model, we are cultivating the art of self- referencing as we bridge both external and internal landscapes of ourselves, as it transforms into a more expansive experience through movement.
We are developing the dual capacity to both inhabit and create within the ever-shifting flow of the human experience, embracing and valuing all of it’s forms and expressions, moment by moment.
I specialize in:
· Establishing a relationship with a movement practice
· Embodiment exploration
· Cultivating technique from impulse
· Developing sensitivity, subtly, nuance, and articulation
· Teasing out and uncovering hidden movement options
· Expansion of time and space in movement
· Experimental pole dance and floor work
· Creation within stillness
· Arrangement and structuring of performance pieces
· Meeting you with more of yourself to create with
I may be a good fit for you if you value:
· A strongly held container to explore being in your own presence
· Experiencing over performing
· Choice and agency in how you meet yourself
· Physical creation through yourself of the abstract and intangible
. Slowing down to allow yourself more time and space
· Attuning to yourself on a deeper sensory level
· You aren’t even sure what you are looking for, but you are curious to see what you may find.
No movement experience necessary, and any space you have to explore is welcomed.
