There is a Feldenkrais workshop happening that I wish I could go to!
Over the last month or so I've taken movement lessons with Michael Eastwood, a student of the Anat Baniel Feldenkrais Method, and I've been very inspired and affected by the process of this work.
Pathways in Rolling: Friday, May 28, 2010
6:45-8 pm, $10 drop-in-no one turned away
OUTERspace: 1474 N. Milwaukee
In this workshop, we will explore a variety of ways to organize to roll including judo rolls, rolling like a baby, like a bear, rolling through sitting to standing, etc but with very little momentum. Eliminating the push of momentum, we can begin to explore the sequential pathways through our whole self and hopefully discover new ways to initiate, follow-through, highlight, transition, and organize movement.
This workshop is based in The Feldenkrais Method and Awareness Through Movement®. Awareness Through Movement lessons teach us about where we might be overworking and holding, how to work with gravity, and how we can organize oursleves differently,-to have dynamic alignment and to move with more of ourselves available to us.- to be free. The Feldenkrais Method goes beyond the mechanics of movement and functional anatomy, and into the whole self, intending to illuminate awareness, patterns, and expand our self-image. This work unveils methods that we can, in Moshes words, "become aware of what we are doing, and not what we say or think that we are doing", so that we can more and more do what we intend.
