Somatics in Education Training with Susan Bauer


Hello friends,



Susan Bauer

Moving on Center School for Participatory Arts and Somatic Research presents:

Intensive Workshop:
Somatics in Education: Professional Development for Dance / Movement Educators
with Faculty Deane Juhan, Caryn McHose, Susan Bauer
July 23 - 27, 2007

This workshop serves as an introduction to a cutting-edge approach to using somatics with teens and college-level adults. Through experiential and student-centered methods, we model a respect for one's body that empowers students through the development of kinesthetic awareness, enhanced perception of one's cultural conditioning, and a healthy respect for self and others. We will also address complex issues of including movement and touch in an educational setting. (Based on Experiential Anatomy, Body-Mind Centering®, and other somatic modalities.)

This workshop is ideal for practitioners and teachers of dance, yoga, martial arts, and other forms, as well as for all those inspired to expand their own dance / movement practice with a more embodied presence.

Courses include:
.    The Body Politic: Touch and Movement as a Social Force) -   Deane Juhan
.    The Evolutionary Body: Structure and Perception in Movement Education                - Caryn McHose
.    Experiential Anatomy for Teens - Susan Bauer
