Feldenkrais individual Coaching / Functional Integration
Accompanying the training Feldenkrais-Contemporary Technique Sascha Krausneker will give dancers of Tanzquartier Vienna the opportunity to deal with individual needs in one to one sessions. Feldenkrais Functional Integration is an individualized, hands-on, mostly non-verbal, one to one process. The student is guided by the practitioner through sequences of movements that bring the student to learn a more efficient use of him/herself. The touch is non-invasive, sensitive and precise. Possible themes and effects of Functional Integration lessons can be: improved balance, easier breathing, a better coordination, more efficient movement, more differentiated movement, improved posture (placement, alignment), freedom from pain, increased movement range, increased self perception, more presence, more stability, more power, better contact to the floor, among many others – or also perfecting chosen elements of a complex choreographic sequence. The participant will choose the theme of each lesson.

"My curiosity orients itself towards the symbiosis of movement and learning – with my wish to let somatic learning happen on all human levels. The fascination for this interface of learning grows out of the touching and moving search for liveliness."
