Body & Time

We are nowadays able to measure time more exactly than spatial distance.
So I ask myself: How does my body express itself in time?

How can my dance become dense, present for myself and my audience? How can my legs become fast, my look long, almost timeless? Where in my body does time seem to stand still, where does a precise pulsation carry me from beat to beat? The body knows more than 800 rhythms – which of these drummers do I follow and what effects have the drummers of others? Do I merge in the present movement or do I live the next one already? Stillness and dynamics. Stress and eternity. Linear and circular understanding of time. Embryology and movement in times of gravity. And: How can I use these states for my dance, movement, daily life?

With methods of Body-Mind Centering we will approach the different understanding of time in particular places and cells of our body, will explore and embody it, so that in each moment we can wilfully call on it. We will be visiting: Heart. Breathing. Blood capillaries. Nerve synapses. Voice. Glands. Sense Organs. Immune system. Basic movement patterns in the womb and in our first time on earth.
