Weekend Workshop: Extending our skin

 

I´m interested in our body´s innate ability to respond physically to the environment and it´s ability to trust it´s own physical intelligence. Our body creates space and it is space, and it´s constantly be-coming while extending its skin out in space.

How can this notion of constant becoming and bodily readiness be a motivation for movement?

With a sense of subtle readiness and playfulness, we will in physical contact with other moving bodies meet the moment with our senses open. We will allow ourselves to move spherical with a clear powerful connection from center to extremities.
