Workshop: https://independentdance.co.uk/event/moving-between-worlds-andrea-olsen-and-caryn-mchose/2023-06-17/

Drawn from the body of work developed by Andrea Olsen and Caryn McHose over the past four decades, this movement workshop honors the deep intelligence of the body as subject, not object; the Earth as subject with intrinsic intelligence and integrity; and both as interconnected with much to teach us if only we learn to listen. Each movement session invites awareness of perception, including the words and images we utilize to frame our embodied experience in service of more conscious living and communicating. Experiential anatomy is featured as one of several lenses that honor the integrity of our structure, underpinning the delicious flow between groundedness and spaciousness in daily life and creative work.  (Come dressed to move and bring a writing journal.)

“Betweenness is a central theme. We wake in the morning, move from silence to speaking, indoors to outdoors, private to public, and personal to professional with multiple transitions. As we communicate with different parts of ourselves, fellow humans, and our surroundings, we cross thresholds from one dimensional realm to another. Amidst all these transitions not-knowing is constant: there is a gap between where we were and where we are going. Interpretation of each present moment is based on our past experience and on the health and receptivity of our bodies. In this state of betweenness, we are immersed in fresh possibility. As we inhabit this “ecotone,” or terrain of potential creativity, noticing what brings personal joy and insight is part of the unfolding process.” 

(From Olsen’s Moving Between Worlds, A Guide to Embodied Living and CommunicatingEntryways: An Introduction, Wesleyan University Press, 2022, p. xv) 

 

About Matkalla (On the Journey), film screening 

Included in Friday event, 7 pm.

Conversation follows about the skills and surprises of moving on camera. (Tickets at the door; free for workshop participants.)

Moments of Magic: Movement Matters

Talk by Kirstie Simson & Andrea Olsen
19 February

6.30 – 8pm
Siobhan Davies Studios/London & Online

Movement artists Andrea Olsen and Kirstie Simson meet virtually in this public talk to discuss the importance of embodied knowledge for the future we are entering into. How can artistic practices build resilience, grounding, and skills to equip us for meeting life’s challenges and joys?

Experiential practices with integrated discourse have much to offer as we move forward in this time of climate crisis and global interconnectivity.

Andrea and Kirstie will speak from their experience of having been immersed in dedicated movement practices for more than four decades. They will consider how these practices and the moments of epiphany they have engendered have shaped their lives.

Body and Earth: In-Depth Training

In this immersive residential workshop, we draw from ten Body and Earth themes that we have investigated and articulated over the last three decades as movement artists, educators, and authors. Modeling collaborative teaching, we both differentiate themes and approaches, and appreciate the overlapping interconnectedness of topics that circulate between science and embodied experience, stimulating creative imagination, artistic forming, and self-care. Our intention is that these practices are useful for daily life as well as profound resources for facilitating others in embodied awareness and experiential learning.

Begins Tuesday at 10 a.m. and ends Sunday at 1 p.m.
$900 plus $50 per day housing ($800 for registration by Feb. 1, 2019 with $100 non-refundable deposit)

Combine both workshops: $1200 plus $50 per day housing ($1100 by Feb. 1 with $150 non-refundable deposit)
See: http://www.resourcesinmovement.com

Body and Earth Training Topics include evolutionary movement, experiential anatomy, body and earth systems, authentic movement, the tonic system, voice and language, the nervous system, creative forming, the Be-ing score, and sustaining mystery.

Both workshops are held at Resources in Movement on beautiful White Oak Pond in Holderness, New Hampshire. Housing is self-catered in Cloverly Cottage, an elegant gathering site for movers and thinkers that has hosted in-depth conversations throughout the past century—including Gregory Bateson, Margaret Mead, and many others—considering how best to honor our global home, including the human body.
