SOMA IMPROVISATION
SOMA IMPROVISATION is a group lesson in movement and dance improvisation. Its specific feature is somatic preparation of the body and attention. This is the basis for further dance improvisation sessions with a partner or group.
The lesson begins with tuning in to each other through a specific topic from human anatomy, physiology, or ontogenesis. With the body perceived in this way, we enter into a game with various aspects of improvisation (working with time, space, motif, movement qualities, etc.), either individually or in a group.
The general theme of the meeting is to find an answer to the question: how to act freely and creatively in a given format and in a shared space?

SOMA LABORATORY
The movement somatic laboratory provides space for perceiving one's own body and attention in rest and also in motion. In the lesson, we work with a specific topic from human anatomy, physiology, or ontogenesis. The selected topic is the starting point for independent movement exploration, work in pairs, and subsequently also for dance improvisation.
This semester, we will also look at the organs of our body, their interrelationships, and their relationship to the skeletal system. How do they manifest themselves in movement, what is their movement expression? The general theme of the meetings is to find an answer to the question: how to act freely and creatively in a shared space?

TĚLE/SNĚNÍ or Embodiment is a creative movement laboratory. Classes are guided by invitations into bodily perception, questioning and responses arising in the present. The body warm-up at the beginning of the class draws from Laban/Bartenieff movement studies , Body-Mind Centering and then the body moves into movement poetry, reflecting on sensory perceptions, feelings, associations. This ability is hidden in everyone if we give space to this ever changing attention and its bodily expression. This movement practice reveals new perspectives on the world around us and on ourselves each time, for each moment is a new gestalt of our momentary state of mind, level of energy, stimuli and attention.

Authentic Movement is a specific discipline within the field of Dance Movement Therapy and Mindfullness practice. An inward-focused movement meditation where we listen to our bodies and the impulses that come up. We then allow the movement to unfold spontaneously. The body speaks in the present moment. The process takes place with eyes closed and unfolds actively through imagery and expressivity with the participation of the witness. We learn to cultivate the conscious attention of both the mover and the active witness. Authentic Movement is based on both Jungian concepts of active imagery and Buddhist psychology and is practiced worldwide. The process is deeply transformative and its practice brings to the surface unconscious processes that are then consciously verbally processed.
Who is Authentic Movement for? ..... just for you, if you want to meet yourself and turn your inner critic into an inner friend and supporter. Authentic Movement is a path to self-trust, self-concept, self-identity, as well as a path to burnout, trauma processing, and overall wellness.
Facilitated by Rena Milgrom - Dance and Movement Therapist, CMA, RSME (Czech and English)
