"The Dance of Breath: Somatic Exploration Through Feldenkrais and Qi Gong"
An Improvisational Dance Workshop on Solo, Contact, and Ensemble Composition
________________________________________________________________________
Breath is our most fundamental function, intricately connected to our emotions and movement. In this improvisational dance workshop, we will incorporate the Feldenkrais Method and Qi Gong to explore the power of breath in movement. By gently stimulating the nervous system, we aim to restore natural breathing patterns and engage with the flow between detailed and expansive movements.
We will work with solo exploration, contact improvisation, and ensemble composition, discovering how breath and body come together in both individual and group dynamics. This journey offers a unique space for movement, connection, and creative collaboration.
