Centre // Periphery
Centre // Periphery is a dance improvisation workshop anchored in somatic research.
Drawing on principles from Body-Mind Centering® and a range of dance improvisation practices, the workshop will offer participants pathways into a movement enquiry that supports awareness, fluidity and depth of embodiment.
Grounded in curiosity and listening to our own body, the other participants, and the space itself, we will navigate a range of solo, partnered and group exercises and improvisational scores.
A particular focus will be 'centre and periphery', and how these express themselves in dance through a range of different somatic, relational and compositional lenses.
Some areas of exploration include:
- The different movement qualities of moving from centre/periphery
- Anatomical pathways of information flow from centre to periphery and vice versa
- The developmental movement pathway of navel radiation ('the starfish')
- Instant composition in time and space
- Spatial and relational dynamics
'Meaning-making'/dramaturgical components of both viewers and movers.
What to expect:
While emphasis will be placed on the ways that somatic enquiry informs our dance, there will also be;
- Cognitive and experiential anatomical sharing
- Hands-on partnered exercises
- Time for integration through movement, touch, breath and sound.
This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in movement, as well as for dancers, actors, yoga teachers and practitioners who wish to infuse their practice with renewed spontaneity, freedom and receptivity.
No prior dance experience is necessary.
