|  Movement Ritual
Anna Halprin
Movement Ritual is a creative approach to dance that organizes a range of structurally integrated movements within the body, leading to greater body consciousness and creativity.
In this workshop you will have an opportunity to perform your own creations, focusing on elements such as falls, lifts, balance, walks, leaps, and ways of shifting weight and moving through space. Through both somatic and subjective exploration of the qualities of movement, you will discover and create movements intended to deepen self-expression and your relationship to the body. You will learn how the body functions anatomically and kinesthetically; which 15 basic movement sequences are generated by focusing on the spine; and how to use these movements to create your own dance variations.
This workshop is ideal for dancers and yoga practitioners who want to develop body awareness beyond form, and anyone who wishes to deepen awareness in the body and enliven a creative approach to dance based on sound-integrated movement.
