Movement Being Awareness

Movement Being Awareness is an experiential workshop exploring what becomes visible when we allow the body to move before the thinking mind decides where it should go.

Through guided movement, active imagination and improvisation, the practice creates space to notice sensations, emotions, images, impulses and patterns of relating as they emerge in the moment.

Rather than learning choreography, improvisation becomes a form of spontaneous composition — an opportunity to listen more closely to the body, explore inner experience and discover new possibilities for movement, awareness and connection.

Movement Being Awareness draws inspiration from a wide range of somatic, movement and improvisational practices, including Authentic Movement, Active Imagination, Body-Mind Centering®, Gaga Movement Language, Focusing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, The Underscore, Open Score, Instant Composition, experiential anatomy, functional movement, somatic education and relational intelligence.

The work is also informed by the movement and research practices of Mary Starks Whitehouse, Pat Ogden, Eugene Gendlin, Martin Kilvady, Salomé Navarro, Lisa Nelson, Steve Paxton, Nancy Stark Smith and David Zambrano.
