Awareness in Performance

This module will give you the opportunity to discover more about your own movement potential through, for example the Feldenkrais Method, Awareness in Motion, and improvisation. By drawing attention to functional anatomy of the skeleton, you will discover more about efficiency and ease of motion through somatic lessons and become more aware of your potential as a mover by introducing questions within a variety of improvisational scores. This work will be influenced, for example, by the philosophies of Moshe Feldenkrais and Deborah Hay, together engaging with the body as an active processing organism, encouraging attention to perception and noticing to enhance the studio-based practice of performance and awareness of the body in motion. This learning and enriched body knowledge will provide you with more understanding, potential and confidence as a mover and be valuable preparation for further training or performance work within the dance field.
