A laboratory for dance and movement exploration led by embodied practices and my artistic approaches. The common ground is the practice of Shannon Cooney’s Moveable Cinema and Dynamic Expansion, mixed with my own in-depth experience in dance performance, dance movement and pedagogy. Exercises are led with scored proposals, and through experimentation one can find their own dance and movement pathways and expression. Focus is on autonomous movement research as well as through pairing and group dances. Space is given for feedback which supports the Laboratory and experimental nature. As written at Shannon Cooney's website: Moveable Cinema is a movement practice created to expand the felt-sense and consciousness of vision while in movement. Shared though a series of mandalas (or practices) it enables one to find a unique path to research consciously how the expanded sense of vision can tune one into one’s body and acutely to the present. Beyond self-oriented practice, practices with others challenges and enriches subtle and powerful forms of witnessing. This becomes a vital and reliable tool for performance. Moveable Cinema exists within the frame of Dynamic Expansion an integrated embodiment approach to orient to the Craniosacral System; tuning into it’s waves and stillness phenomena, grounds the practice.

This practice offers many possible applications to one’s personal artistic/creative work or practice including: a vibrant palette/range of movement qualities, joy in movement, fine-tuned visual field perception, enhanced depth of focus, heightened and subtle states of presence, refined self-perception skills, new systems of connecting with self others and, profound and grounded experiences in the sensorial field.
