Improv and Body Mind Centering JANUARY 8-17 With Scott Wells and Cathie
Caraker<br>
<br>
Dear Friends,<br>
<br>
Cathie Caraker and I are teaching a ten day intensive on Body Mind Centering <br>
and Contact Improvisation. I have found that BMC and particularly Cathie's
<br>
approach to it uniquely alters my body and movement experience. And I have <br>
wanted more affordable opportunities to study BMC and the other somatic <br>
wonders that are generally more expensive than contact/dance workshops.<br>
<br>
Drumroll.....so at $450 10 days is a great deal, but we want to get
the <br>
ball rolling with early registrations so, <br>
we've made a $150 DISCOUNT: $300<br>
(To receive discount send your deposit of $75 postmarked on or before <br>
<b style="">December 15</b>. Check payable to
Scott Wells mail to 1805 divisadero, SF 94115 <br>
Attention Winter Intensive).<br>
Space is limited, so the earlier the better. Please email me at <br>
scottbwells@hotmail.com to confirm.<br>

BODY-MIND CENTERING® WITH CATHIE CARAKER<br>
Body-Mind Centering® (BMC) is an innovative approach to movement reeducation <br>
developed by dancer and occupational therapist Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. <br>
Integrating anatomical, psychological and developmental principles, the work <br>
leads to an understanding of how the mind is expressed through the body in <br>
movement. BMC offers an experiential approach to learning about our living <br>
anatomy, as well as a method of movement analysis which can be useful in the <br>
creative process. In this workshop we will use the BMC work as a lens <br>
through which we investigate our creative resources as movers. We will study <br>
each of the major body systems (skeleton, muscles, organs, fluids, nerves <br>
and endocrine glands), experiencing their structures, functions and <br>
individual expressive qualities through intentional touch and improvisation. <br>
We’ll also explore the developmental movement process, which underlies all <br>
our movement expression. Reintegrating these fundamental patterns and <br>
principles helps to increase our clarity and coordinaton as movers, allowing <br>
us longer and healthier dancing lives. This workshop is highly recommended <br>
for dancers, actors, movement therapists and others who work with movement.<br>
<br>
CONTACT IMPROV WITH SCOTT WELLS<br>
CI into Performance Jam<br>
We take one element (yes, we'll learn some flying and fluid acrobatics) work <br>
it inside out, practice integrating it into jamming then use it for <br>
performance experiments.<br>
Performance research:<br>
1) We start with our own body. Sensing self, desires, body
awareness.<br>
2) We expand our awareness to partners ( contact improvisation).<br>
3) We expand our awareness to watchers (or audience). We connect to their
<br>
experience. This is improvisational performance. To connect to the <br>
audience, we must also practice being an audience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
