Authentic Movement i skogen #2

MOVING IN INNER AND OUTER LANDSCAPES We invite you into the forest to a journey within. In a simple structure you will move, witness and be witnessed. Talk about your experience and listen to others. Authentic Movement is about tuning into the inner theater where we observe the phenomena of life as it happens, and we choose whether to act upon it and express (move) it or to remain observant. In the world, outside, a peer sees us, fully present and committed to a non-judgmental witnessing. Supported by their presence, we can rest aside our own judgmental self, and transformation and reflection is possible. Authentic Movement´s roots are an entanglement of dance and expressive movement with Jungian psychotherapy. Since the 1970s, the practice has spread and become part of the umbrella concept of "somatic movement practices" and one of the most relevant practices in the field of dance/movement therapy. No prior knowledge of Authentic Movement or somatic practices is required to participate. It is important that you are aware of the therapeutic intention of this practice. It means that you might witness or experience the release of emotional energy in different expressions. It also means that you commit to work towards a non-judgmental contemplation of those expressions.

We both have extensive experience in dance and somatic practices. The past year has given us a surprisingly welcome break from organizing and teaching at international festivals, retreats and workshops. We are now looking forward to invite you to smaller, local events in the future. Ann Kristin: I teach dance and contact improvisation at Høyskolen for Dansekunst and am involved in running Oslo Kontaktimpro. I´ve been studying dance and movement since 2010. Along the way, I was fascinated by our marvelous nature and complexity and began to study this within the frameworks of yoga, qigong, massage therapy, somatic practices and osteopathy. Since 2015 I´ve been teaching, facilitating and organizing movement related happenings. Mario: I dance, facilitate, collaborate with and organize different dance, Contact Impro, and contemplative events. Organizer of the Water & Land Contact Festival in Thailand (ci-thai.com) and Silent Contact Retreat in Portugal. Body Worker (Zen Shiatsu, CranioSacral biodynamics). Freediving instructor.
