Practicing Presence

Presence is a practice, and this workshop provides movement experiences and personal reflections to carry with you to help make presence a regular part of your creative process and your life. The focus is on Breath and embodiment practices. You will leave this workshop able to say: 

• I know how to access and use my breath and my body to connect to myself and the present moment. 

• I understand the usefulness of presence practice as a performer. 

  • Become reactive from choice, not habit

  • Make my technique available

• I understand the usefulness of presence practice as a human. 

  • Clear distractions

  • Listen well

Yield into Your Creative Power

Some people think they are “just not creative” or their creativity has run dry. This workshop uses movement and reflection to access the wells of creativity in you. In our explorations of Shape and Effort you will understand your current habits and see how to expand expressive choices. You will leave this workshop able to say: 

• I know how/from where I am approaching my practice, and how that serves my goals/intentions (or not). 

• I recognize how my own body knowledge and preferences are serving (or not) in my creative life.

• I know how to access my inner support for change. 

The Creativity of the Body

This workshop offers embodied inroads to creativity. Through movement experiences and personal reflection, you will come to understand how your own body knowledge/body prejudice, and how that  affects your creative practice. The L/BMA system holds that knowing myself allows me to know others. Therefore, this knowledge can help you develop a creative practice that cultivates and values both individuality and community. You will leave this workshop able to say: 

• I can use movement as a way of knowing myself and expressing myself. 

• I recognize how my own body knowledge and preferences are serving (or not) in my creative life. 

• I have the tools to use my movement experiences to deepen my body awareness and make new expressive choices.
