IMPULSE TRAINING THROUGH PLAYFUL MOVEMENT with Joanna Harmon and Eve Schulte
February 25th & 26th
Heighten the sense to your own impulses through playful movement. Learn to honor your instincts--for performance, for improvisatory practice, and for daily life.
Open to individuals of all experience levels. We believe the diversity with a group supports exponential growth of each of the participants.
Day One: The Individual
Practice feeling, acknowledging, trusting, and acting on your internal, individual impulses. Develop your ability to listen and manifest your needs, wants, and desires through movement. Day One will focus on the individual--how can you, personally, practice taking necessary action in the moment?
February 25th, 10am-1pmDay Two: The Group
Practice being with and responding to the bodies and impulses around you while acknowledging your own instincts. Day Two participants will work towards developing a "group mind," working on listening and relating to others while still honoring the individual.
