The Listening Body: A Practice of Not KnowingA Workshop in Qi Gong & Intuitive Movement
This is a somatic approach to dance and performative practices where we explore how expression can emerge from deep listening rather than effort. By using a method called spontaneous movement (Zifa Gong) coming from Qigong, we learn how to be moved by the body and allowing it to guide us.
Time: April 25 & 26 - 14-18.00
Location: Stora Studion Danscentrum Syd
This method can resemble Authentic Movement, but emphasizes how to connect with “QI” (vital force) to guide us. I am curious about how the body often holds answers we may not always trust. What happens when we take the time to listen, to feel, and to become friends with the signals the body gives us? What is the expression of our body language, if the body leads rather than our mind?
Through this workshop and method I am offering we will also look at how we heal injuries or pain in the body. Through my own experience with injuries, healing began to happen when I stopped attempting t fix the body and learned how to listen and follow its signals.
We use physical and subtle practices such as Qi Gong, spontaneous movement and contact improvisation to bridge this practice both in our own bodies and in connection.
About the teacher Benjamin Lindh Medin
Benjamin A. Lindh Medin (born 1989, Sweden) is a
movement artist, teacher, and founder of The Listening
Body. Raised between art and healing by a performer
mother and a yoga-teaching father, he began practicing
Ashtanga Yoga and urban dance at eight, later training in
breaking, ballet, martial arts, and contemporary dance.
After various injuries—and a deepening love for the natural
world—he devoted himself to somatic and holistic practices, developing a more integrative approach to the body. For over a decade, Qi Gong and somatic practices have been central to his path, alongside meditation, contact improvisation and music. He has worked and toured internationally as both performer and teacher through collaborative projects and retreats and continues to explore the bridge between artistic work, ecology and holistic ways of living.
