A somatic movement and concept articulation practice
for people working in story and performance.
What to expect
~
Intellectualizing a creative block only takes you so far. The truest breakthroughs happen when the body leads and the mind listens.
This practice bridges raw, instinctual movement/dance with guided explorations of your creative material. Through this physical exploration followed by dialogue and summary, we translate the wisdom of the body into tangible story and performance notes.
Release the tension and creative fatigue caused by trying to mentally force ideas.
Engage the unconscious mind / ancestral beliefs / cultural motifs to building focused, cohesive, self-generated creative direction.
Bridge the gap between raw ideas; training, drafting, & rehearsal processes;
mentality and artistic philosophy; and the final conceptual framing of pieces/bodies of work.
Part I: Embodied & Kinetic Exploration (Movement)
We begin in the body. Using spatial awareness, sensory prompts, and somatic performance techniques, you bypass cognitive noise and access the hidden, physical intelligence of your ideas. Here, we work on tension, pacing, world-building, and character development.
Part II: Conceptual Synthesis & Alchemy (Discussion)
We unpack the discoveries made during part one, translating insights into clear storytelling and performance notes. We continually refine the core message, narrative, and artistic philosophy of your work and your artistry.
