Geographies of the body
Meridians as navigation routes interlace gravity and soul, horizon and touch. Based on my body archive, I share my training routine. Combining somatic practices (ideokinesis, myofascial work, BMC) with Meridian Stretches (Shizuto Masunaga) and contemporary dance training, we move with awareness and presence, breath and direction. In dialogue with the physical self, we hypersensitise the senses and explore embodiment in its contemporary complexity. A deep connection through sensations prepares us to be open to the experiment of dance!
