The Feldenkrais Method® is named after its founder Moshe Feldenkrais and uses movement and the cultivation of deep self-awareness to assist people in living fuller, more satisfying lives. One of the key ideas that underpin The Feldenkrais Method is that learning to move with less effort makes daily life easier and that we will improve our well being when we learn to fully use ourselves.
A wide range of people participate in this work and they often experience:
- Increased performance in sports and performing arts activities
- Pain relief
- Movement enhancement
- Clarity of thought
- Increase in positive emotional states
During this intensive one day workshop the Method will be taught through two Awareness Through Movement™ lessons based on different themes as well as an introduction to the principles, strategies and application of the Method.
Awareness Through Movement™ is highly regarded as a sophisticated, enjoyable sensory-motor approach to learning both new ways of moving, eliminating pain and increasing self-awareness. The intention is to learn to move in less effortful, more organic ways through diverse, ingenious movement experiments. These lessons are helpful and interesting for people at all levels of ability including those who are extremely healthy and those with serious injuries. They are designed for anyone who wants to reconnect with their natural abilities to move, think and feel.
The workshop will be taught by Bonni Chan and Sean Curran the Artistic Directors of Theatre du Pif. Both of them are Certified Feldenkrais Practitioners.
