Authentic Movement-Sessions
Authentic Movement sessions are an invitation simply to listen and follow any impulses you have to move. With practice we refine our ability to notice, allow and follow movements without judging or interpreting them as we move.
Often, we create a space for another to safely drop into this place of listening and movement by stepping into the role of witness. Witnessing offers us the opportunity to observe interpretations that arise within us as we try simply to be present for someone else.
No movement instruction is offered, but time and space to listen within and move; many experience this as an opportunity to unwind.
Malcolm Manning (UK/AT) is a movement researcher, educator, and artist who specialises in teaching somatically oriented dance and movement classes. He is certified as both a Feldenkrais Method® and Body And Earth® practitioner. His current research is into how the images we hold of our anatomy and the relationship of mind and body shape our experience of ourselves and the world we are moving through. This work, “Choreographing Subjectivities”, is in part a response to Rosi Braidotti’s book The Posthuman, in which she argues that to meet the multiple challenges facing us in this historical moment, thinking differently is not enough; we need to experience ourselves and the world differently; we need new subjectivities. He has taught in dance educations throughout Europe including the Finnish and Danish national schools of contemporary dance and the Vaganova Academy; dance festivals such as Impulstanz, TanzBozen and Tanzwerkstatt Europa; dance centres such as TanzQuartier, Independent Dance UK, K3 Hamburg; and was part of developing the Dance And Somatics course at ISLO/FI. He also applies somatic and contemporary dance techniques in other disciplines such as the architecture department of the San Pablo CEU University Madrid, the Somaesthetics Study Group at Helsinki University, and Situation Lab at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki. www.movetolearn.com www.morethanmovement.at
