EVENT DESCRIPTION:
4 Tuesdays, June 1 – 22, 4-5:30PM PDT
In this workshop we begin by giving ourselves restorative touch/ contact to relax and release excess tension and allow ourselves to become more receptive to bodily sensations. Inspired by an integrative movement approach from Anna Halprin’s somatic practice, we find support from our bones, breath, and gravity. Weaving imagery and heightened awareness through our senses and skin, we invite flow and pleasure to come forward in our dancing. At the end of each class, we draw/ write and imagine how our dances can ripple into our daily lives.
Come as you are. Please create a comfortable space to move and have drawing/ writing materials on hand. No dance experience required.
Joy Cosculluela draws resources from her experience as a professional bodyworker for over 20 years, a somatic educator, Life-Art practitioner, and interdisciplinary arts performing artist.
Open to all. No dance experience required.
To get the most out of this online series, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device and a reliable internet connection. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for drawing activities, and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
