About this Event

This is a radical somatic CI workshop in which Christine Cole brings her tools and experience back to Amsterdam! Now we are faced with conflicts of war & it REQUIRES our response as we are all directly or indirectly affected. Again Christine will be offering BMC tools - SomaticBODY approaches to interweave our CI dancing: Dynamic unwinding patterns, synaptic release, grounding and embryology of the nervous system. If you practice CI or teach - this is FOR YOU! Underlying questions are: How can we keep dancing? Can we be whole or happy or in love or silly? What can we learn? How can we be connected to our source, our truth- body? What the SomaticBODY approach offers is that we have a WIDE allowance and experience of the human state, we can allow the unconscious and conscious intertwine and express itself without needing to understand. We can have feelings and dance them. We will dance - because dance we must. Come if you would like to explore these issues and also learn some new somatic tools for our dances. If you are interested - let us know! _____ Schedule: Friday 19:00-22:00 Saturday & Sunday 10:00-17:00 Costs: solo: 160 Euro https://buy.stripe.com/8wM8yt4zK2KJg9ObJa bring a friend: 140 Euro -https://buy.stripe.com/14k4id6HS1GFf5K28B Place: Studio Ite Boerema, Amsterdam (across from) Eerste Helmerstraat 147 Questions: Thijs: [email protected] _____ About Christine: Christine Cole found CI in Freiburg in 1981, and keeps this practice and research to today. She became a teacher of BMC, teacher of CI and lived in Western Massachusetts, where both Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen and Nancy Stark Smith resided, therefore having access to both leaders in their field and curated a festival where they spoke about their history, their work and their connection. She runs SomaticBODY trainings in Europe, Israel and the USA and teaches Somatics using CI - all this time, as a versatile, alive, movement technique that is based on relating through movement, momentum, timing. She is concerned about Somatics as being understood as a nice, sensing, calming practice, but believes that Somatics must include action and allow for ALL human ways of being in the world to be expressed and supported.
