Wide Open Dancing
In this session we will explore a somatic-informed dance practice which follows on Feldenkrais’ eco-enactivist proposal of a ‘functional unity between body, mind, and environment’ (2005) . Feldenkrais’ position on ’no mind without the environment’ (2002) – environment being understood as an uncertain and social-process - will be probed as a place for a shared creative becoming. We will draw on reflective movement and touch interaction as ‘creative and corporeal imaginaries’ and will take time to debate and exchange ideas.
