In this work, culled from years of personal excavation, I guide us in mapping our voices through the energetic and vibrational pathways of our bodies. We will utilize gentle touch as a feedback mechanism for sensing and feeling movement, informed by years of practice in Contact Improvisation forms, Somatic lineages and encounters with modalities such as Feldenkrais and Craniosacral Therapy. Participants are always welcome to use imagination or utilize self-touch for any exercises. This work may yield wild movement potential— or something more interior, yet vast! This workshop is geared toward those excited to expand possibilities of a moving-singing body, and for those who don’t yet know how to get started. We will regard each body as its own expert, making room for doubt and interrogation along the way. How can we amplify and tune our connection to movement, space, and one another through shared vibrations? We will meet one another where we are, encouraging multiplicity and collective discovery. There will be time to reflect in partners and as a group. This work has been healing for me and I love sharing it with others.
What to expect: Auditory guidance through descriptive imagery. Vocalization, resting, listening, and reflecting. Circling up. Guided touch using somatic vocabularies (naming parts of the skeleton or energetic centers of the body). Improvisation. Witnessing. Conversation.
