Workshop Description:
The Basics. These introductory practices are designed to develop technical skills and personal inquiry as a conversation through improvisational methods that Sara has been developing throughout her career. The research is always evolving. You are welcome.
The week/the puzzles:
• Solo, Neutral, Follow / Are you in your body?
• Space and Geometry / Space inside and outside, outer/inner geometry. Space moves you, structure is your support.
• 10 Ways / A list - Performance score created by standing in the center of all of your lives and calling forth instant action - trauma, drama, song, parallel realities. Quick action designed to create instant results.
• Weight, Volume, and Grounds / Filling the weight-body with space and wrapping yourself into yourself. Partner and the universe.
• Writing for Scenario / Tracking as a method for sharpening perception and changing the foreground and background while exploring through prompts.
• Implied Direction / A touch score that re-trains pathways and frees the mind, solo and in partnerships.
During the week, other practices such as journey work and healing modalities will appear. Much of the process can be explored as individual practice and/or in contact with others. Each day will include Chi Cultivation - A series of movement and breath exercises that articulate the spine, work the muscles, engage the systems, and raise your physical energy and your consciousness. It is accumulative, creating long-term strength and vitality. You become more aware, have more control, and more joy.
Please bring water, a notebook, and something to write with. This workshop is open to all levels and may reach a high level of physical intensity and focus, be prepared to sweat!
