At Maine Center for Taijiquan & Qigong, 500 Forest Avenue, Portland, Maine

with Somatic Movement Educator/Therapist and UZAZU Embodied Intelligence Trainer Deb Grant

(plus likely a surprise guest teacher appearance by ....Shhhh!....)

Workshop Description

Drawing from UZAZU Embodied Intelligence, with a side of basic Meet & Pota-toes* skills that will help refresh you improvisational dance, served up with a pinch of Body-Mind Centering…

 

…you will discover new and distinct ways to move, support, play with, and attend to what’s wanting to happen in your dance:​

  • Learn how to spatialize and dimensionalize your movement in order to support and expand upon what is unfolding in your dance experience physically and emotionally.

  • Effectively move and express from the 4 Areas of Embodiment ---Inner Experience, Self-Agency, Connection and Collaboration--- for increased comfort, range, expression and nuance in your dance.

  • Experience & Embody UZAZU's 9 Modes of Engagement as supports for shifting your state on the dance floor.

 

This is very much a '2-for-1' workshop! These tools and approaches to dance also offer powerful ways to self-regulate and thrive as you 'dance' through daily life. You will have time for integrating what you experience and for considering how UZAZU will support you both on and off the dance floor.

 

*tee hee!
