Morning class with Simonetta Alessandri at Greenwich Dance

Feldenkrais into Improvisation. Each class starts with a Feldenkrais sequence which questions how specific movement patterns work anatomically. Through observing our own sensations and valuing our personal insights, we will identify our habits and clarify choices in order to promote efficiency and freedom. By respecting the internal logic of the body we will grow from somatic awareness towards working with larger and more complex movement. Awareness of the roots of a movement and the emergence of new possibilities gives us a reinvigorating sense of ownership and pleasure in our dancing. Through improvisational strategies we will access a more energetic physicality and a broader awareness of sharing space and time with others. We will be inspired all week by the deep atmospheres of Jeen Lee’s and Gay Harries's music.
