Mara Neimanis (In-Flight Theater) Saturday May 11, 10 am–5 pm$120
Spin, float, fly and glide on low flying aerial sculptures as architectural realms of play and vehicles for communication in this day-long masterclass with Arial Actor Mara Neimanis. Participants will engage in exercises that explore improvisational skills, ensemble play, spatial and kinesthetic problem solving, risk and relationship, and the development of gesture. The workshop will be augmented by gentle lessons from Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® to inform self-awareness, movement organization, and to offer an in-depth basis for responsive communication and self-care. NO experience is necessary. Anyone with an imagination and a body is welcome.
The Feldenkrais Method® works with the plasticity of the brain and its ability to form new cells and reorganize itself, and in effect, helps the body integrate new references for movement. Awareness Through Movement® lessons teach the body to experience easier and more optimal movement patterns that can be integrated into how the body functions and organizes itself. Results include the opportunity to relinquish habitual movement patterns that cause or contribute to chronic pain and find a new way of moving, standing, walking, balancing and being in one’s everyday living.
Mara Neimanis is a guild certified Feldenkrais practitioner and teaches Physical Theatre/Aerial Arts in the Niagara University Theatre Program and with theatre companies internationally. She has a diverse background as a playwright and performer and is the founder of In-Flight Theater whose unique brand of aerial performance takes place atop suspended metal sculpture and sometimes inches from the floor. Mara blends her unique aerial and theatre training with the creative application of the neuroplastic healing connections of The Feldenkrais Method® to create aerial plays as well as treat both her human and canine clients.
