Over four days in “Awareness Through Movement – into Improvisation!”, we will start each morning gently with a Feldenkrais ATM lesson, followed by guided improvisation. This space invites you to explore how you sense yourself through movement, integrate your experiences, and experiment with different approaches to your dance.
When do you feel fully immersed in dancing? How does it feel, and how do you get there? In today’s improvisation, what stood out as particularly effective for you? What would it take to enjoy dancing even more?
Each day, we will explore a different Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® lesson, each with a specific focus. These lessons help you notice habitual patterns and guide your attention to discover ease within each movement. By taking time to pause and perceive subtle changes as they unfold, you engage in the “game” of exploring what can feel like a challenging task. This process of slowing down and attending to small beginnings supports more efficient, healthy, and complete use of yourself—savoring the quality of your movement, gaining more choice, and becoming responsive rather than reactive.
The improvisation part will shift focus each day, sometimes encouraging deeper individual exploration, other times engaging in a collective instant composition. Each day concludes with an exchange of insights, allowing us to learn from and be inspired by each other’s discoveries.
