BODY, SPACE AND YOU
CREATING DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIPS
THROUGH LABAN/BARTENIEFF MOVEMENT STUDIES
A WORKSHOP WITH PEGGY HACKNEY - May 28th - June 1st 2012
Peggy Hackney returns to Edinburgh after her hugely successful residency at Dance Base in June 2011. Her theme in May 2012 continues the “Integrating Polarities” theme with a focus on taking your “Breath Body into Space”.
Peggy’s practice in the use of Breath as an inroad to Body Patterning supports ease of coordination and a sense of wholeness as we move into relationship with others - in dance, in therapy or in everyday life. Every human “speaks” expressively using personal Breath, Body, and Spatial Phrasing. This residency will bring a refreshing self-awareness through this material and will offer new perspectives on our non-verbal communication with others.
- Discover how your Breath Patterns set up pathways of relationship in Space and become your dynamic partner
- Practice using clear Spatial Intent to enhance your body’s internal connections and communication Explore your own “Movement Signature” in Space and how this may be perceived by others
- Learn to pay attention to your use of Space in relationships, work environments and choreography
Although some level of familiarity with the material is helpful, no prerequisite training is necessary. Completion of the week will supply 20 hours towards the prerequisite experience required to apply for the full LMA training which will be starting in Edinburgh in June, 2012.
