I have been practicing and learning the form of Authentic Movement with Jan for a few years and I am so pleased to offer this workshop to you. This practice and teacher are near and dear to my heart. I hope you can join us.
Authentic Movement strives for the physical expression of truth in each passing moment, whatever that truth may be. With the body as the leader and with eyes closed, we find, explore and follow the eternally present impulse, expressing it through movement. By allowing our impulses to lead us, our movement begins to bridge the unconscious to the conscious. Authentic Movement embraces all levels of being from the sacred to the seeming profane, the important to the trivial, the humorous to the tragic, the joyous to the grieving. In practicing the form participants find, in addition to inner discovery, the possibility for a deep inner freedom that comes with true self-acceptance.
During this workshop, we will focus on the essential elements of Authentic Movement: the mover and the witness, dyadic experience, and the collective experience. We will pay attention to bridging the movement back into the conscious realm: using language, gestures and perhaps art to respectfully witness the complexity of what unfolded during the movement: how to honor and mark what essentially often has not been named or seen in us—giving it a place. No dance experience is necessary.
Jan Sandman has been practicing Authentic Movement for over 20 years and teaching the form for over 15 years. She has a bodywork, teaching and healing practice in Montpelier, VT. www.jansandman.com
