Event will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2023 at 2:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. MST at ApeCo in Boulder, CO.
You are invited to join for a deep dive into my favorite movement practice, the “Sea Creature Dance” (SCD). The SCD is accessible for all bodies-it’s an open-ended practice ‘template’ that you might call:
a movement-sounding-breath meditation
a feel-good somatic practice
a listening-sensing-expressing practice
an intuitive/exploratory warm-up/warm-down
contact improvisation with the floor/environment
Depending on what your body needs in the moment, the SCD can range anywhere from an invisible/micro internal dance to a macro/playful movement exploration and anywhere in between. An intention of the SCD is to support nervous system resilience and regulation/mental health, widening what brings us pleasure- to help us feel better (or good enough) in the moment. This is foundational in the the toolkit + skillset to move well and take care of this amazing miracle we call a body, to be able to sense and then give ourselves what we need in any moment, cultivating the ability to shift/modulate our states. We will layer in techniques to support strength/mobility/elasticity development & maintenance as well.
Once we’ve established the solo SCD, we will play with options & entry points into Sea Creature Partnering- different ways we can assist/support each other including sharing weight close to the ground.
