Looking back and ahead

On biodynamic craniosacral body practices in contemporary dance

Being involved in extensive research for years while working as a choreographer, dancer and lecturer in the field of contemporary dance and having previously tracked down ethereal traces within the body as part of my biodynamic craniosacral body practices, I wanted to combine both these elements in a playful, yet well-founded way.

On the one hand, we will undertake an anatomic journey from the earliest stages of the embryo to our present stage of life, and on the other hand, we will trace sequences of movement our bodies have previously sensed. We will familiarise ourselves with terms like “blue print”, “ressources” and “triggers”, which we will use to inspire our own choreographic research. How can biographies of the body be introduced to contemporary dance? Discussions at the end of each session will enable us to exchange and analyse personal experiences and individual ways of approach.
