O-7 / Body-Mind Centering: Struktur, Raum, Energie

Workshop with Jens Johannsen
In the frame of Oster Tanz 2018

Body-Mind Centering connects the experiences and movement of all structures of our body to space and energy. In this workshop we explore how the fine structures of our body effect our dance. We focus on those parts of our muscles that sense movement, the connective tissue of the digestive system and the meninges. These structures are essential to help to find and manage our alignment and expression while moving. No bodily structure can function without its integration into the rest of the body, so we will also look at the bones, the fascia and the organs. We will move a lot in this workshop, as well as use touch and talk about it.
