Somatic Practices

Catalog description

Laboratory for somatic education that explores the foundations of movement, voice, expression and spatial awareness. Students from a wide variety of disciplines are welcomed and encouraged to participate. Taught through the principles of specific somatic lenses (e.g., the Alexander Technique, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and Body Mind Centering), the course highlights how embodied awareness affects artistic process and choice making, as well as enhancing physical capacities, kinesthetic intelligence, and the refinement of performance and technical skills. Emphasizes developing a holistic perception of ourselves, our relation to one another and to the environment.
