SHARING PRACTICE

Sharing Practice is an opportunity to study with Meryem who will be sharing practices that she learned, studied and explored in dance, voice, improvisation and somatic approaches to movement, including Body-Mind Centering.

At Collective Space every Saturday-ish in the afternoon, for 2 hours. Specific hours will vary from week to week. Contact Meryem for more info and to attend.

Key elements that we will explore include:

• Presence
  
• Intentional and extended focus
  
• Precision and specificity
  
• Body-based sensing of “consciousness”
• Embodying states with movement and voice
• Being with and experiencing emotion while performing without pretending
• Playing lighly and seriously with our voice with depth and grounding
  
• Finding collective rituals to connect together with generosity and ease even if we barely know each other socially
• Choice making and agency in improvisation and letting go of all that we know to be carried by the dance

Open to curious movers and professional dancers. By donation.
