Dance and Somatics Summer Course
13.-14. August 2022
Our experience of our own bodies plays an important role in how we feel about ourselves, and this influences how we interact with our environment, social and physical.
Somatics refers to a general approach to working with the body where it is experienced from within rather than objectified from the outside. The implication is that when the body is experienced from within, then the body and mind are not separated but experienced as a whole.
There will be classes in improvisation, movement exploration, and other somatic movement practices. We aim to create a relaxed atmosphere in which everyone can learn at their own pace. We take our work seriously, and we like to have fun. We hope you will too!
This course is open to everyone and could be a great way to begin your autumn. Since it happens just at the end of summer, it can also serve as an introduction for prospective students of the one-year course.
