Feel first, structure later
In this workshop we’ll explore the difference between meeting the body through somatic awareness and meeting the body through technique. Often, we learn technique first before actually becoming aware of what our bodies are doing. This workshop is a gentle reminder that sometimes we don’t need more technique to get further in our (dance) practice but instead we might need more awareness. Through somatic awareness exercises and intuitive movement, we’ll arrive at technical exercises from a different angle: the angle of your embodied knowledge.
