Jess Lerner and Amy Voris are delighted to co-deliver this two-day workshop which brings together experiential anatomy with site-responsive movement work. Both days will begin with an indoor experiential anatomy session (led by Amy at Jess’ studio) followed by an outdoor session (led by Jess on the Mynydd Du/Black Mountain). The morning sessions will sensitize participants to the structure and substance of their bodies in preparation for the conditions of the outdoor work. In the afternoons, Jess will provide participants with movement scores that she has been developing in relation to the mountain over a number of years. Both days will end with reflective/processing time in Jess’ studio.
Jess Lerner has been living in Brynaman since 2002, inspired by the vast common land of the Bannau Brycheiniog and hearty community of its former mining village where she has been teaching movement and yoga and also ran a village shop over many years. Jess’s practice integrates working with objects and the environment with movement. Her training and perspective is in both dance and visual art disciplines and is also a yoga teacher and movement facilitator. www.jessicalerner.uk
Amy Voris is a dance-maker and facilitator based in Manchester, UK. Her practice is process-oriented and collaborative, driven by the desire to develop enduring relationships with people, places and movement material. She has completed training in Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy with Linda Hartley which informs her approach to dance-making and facilitating.
Jess and Amy share an interest in somatic movement and performance. Through this workshop, they are excited to explore how their approaches might intersect.
