What if it’s not the mind that lives in the body but the body that lives in the mind?
In this workshop, I present dance and movement practices that I have been collecting and synthesising, devising and revising, as a playful embodied investigation of how we might experience subjectivity differently; how our sense of presence with the world changes when we reformulate the mind-body relationship.
In the discourse of philosophy of mind there is renewed interest in hypotheses that consider consciousness as a fundamental property of our universe. Since consciousness is at the core of somatic practices, I am curious what implications working within this paradigm might have in the field of somatically-oriented dance, art and design practices?
Malcolm Manning (UK/AT) is a somatic movement researcher, educator, mentor and artist. His current work “Shapeshifting” seeks to revitalise older modalities of somatic practices through the application of new models of anatomy and consciousness. He is certified as both a Feldenkrais Method® and Body And Earth® practitioner. Manning 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. www.movetolearn.com
