In this Indulge the Movement -course led by Sara Gurevitsch we search for hope and for a feeling of being supported. We develop the skill of observing ourselves, the space around us and each other.
The second Indluge the Movement -course on Tuesday evenings is led by Sara Gurevitsch. Anne Naukkarinen, who was announced to be the instructor, had to cancel her course.
This course, led by Sara Gurevitsch, is based on improvisation and on practices of perception. The classes start with a warm-up. We dance alone and together listening to the movement, to the rhythm and to each other. The goal of the practice is to find a feeling of hope and feeling of being supported by developing sensitivity to perceive oneself, the space around us and each other.
"During the past years I have examined the different kind of surfaces and perceiving surfaces in my practice. I am not interested in what is seen but what is palpable and experienced in this moment. The performances will take place honoring my own capacity and resources - my practice is constantly dealing with the questions of how to go on and in which ways. My practice is to listen to myself: my body, rhythms, space & my own boundaries.
It would be lovely, if you got along!
