Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) is an integrative and poetic approach to movement developed by American dance artist Joan Skinner (1924-2021). SRT stimulates the process of letting go of unnecessary tension, releasing new possibilities in how we perceive and how we dance. Poetic imagery, hands-on partner studies and improvisation form the basic elements of this dance practice that is unique in the way it supports both, dance technique and artistic sensibilities. We will explore individually, with a partner and as a group some of the essential SRT principles, such as allowing movement to happen, a fluid attention, autonomy and freedom of movement of different parts of the physical self as well as suppleness and readiness. These qualities enhance aliveness and a stronger presence and open new layers in our dancing, which unfolds in the interplay of imagination, movement and stillness.
