Movement Sources. Intro-workshop to School of Body-Mind Centering® training program in Benelux.
Advertisement
Since 2025, Tessura has offered the School for Body-Mind Centering® Somatic Movement Education Program in the Benelux area. A new cycle of School for Body-Mind Centering® Somatic Movement Education Program will be offered from Fall 2026 onwards, with courses offered in Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp) and the Netherlands (Den Haag). Tessura will also start to offer the School for Body-Mind Centering® Infant Developmental Movement Education (IDME) program, and
School for Body-Mind Centering® Practitioner program.
In our series of introduction workshops (June 25, Den Haag & Nov 7,8, Antwerp), we present basic principles and core material of Body-Mind Centering to explore our own physicality and those of others through movement improvisation, hands-on explorations, experiential anatomy, voice-work; through principles and material that constitute the core of the School for Body-Mind Centering® Programs.
The workshops are open to people with or without an interest to follow the training. Previous experience with BMC®, movement and/or dance is welcome, but not necessary. The workshops are open to all abilities. In case you think you need extra physical or other support, please let us know.
All classes will be taught in English. There will be translation of specific terms and additional support in Dutch and/or French.
The process of our movement development underlies the forms of expression through the body systems. In this workshop, we introduce the notion of development as a non-linear process, as interweaving ontogenetic and phylogenetic perspectives. In Body-Mind Centering, the study and exploration of Basic Neurocellular Movement Patterns, of Primitive Reflexes, Righting Reactions and Equilibrium Responses, of Embryological Development intertwine
and allow us to learn our personal and collective ‘movement sources’.
The study of developmental movement forms the essence of the Somatic Movement Education program and Infant Developmental Movement Education program. In this two-day workshop we introduce basic principles of that study, as well as dedicate time to a demonstration of applications and further research and artistic paths this study introduces us to.
