Body Agency: somatics & dance spring workshop

Body Agency is a series of workshops that explore the themes of personal power and resilience.

Our sense of agency is rooted in histories, our experiences in society, and the roles assigned onto our bodies. Yet there is also an inward-outward directionality - where power comes from deep within and we can act on our world. And there are the mirrors of a supportive community that may help re-ignite our inner fire.

The tools are movement and language, the container is the group, the space, music. Somatics and dance invite us to experience our sense of power through our sensory and creative expression.

How does our presence re/claim shared space?

Not to dominate, or to prove, but to creatively be with each other.

-

Somatics are here to ground us into our body and earth. Dance gives space for feeling, and through this feeling an inner place of freedom may open. From this opening, we may find a way to our unique agency: a felt sense of choice and action.
