SUMMARY:Thinking Body Fall 2020 Online Session #2
DESCRIPTION:Please see below for more information about these sessions from instructor Isabelle Rousseau. \nI am excited to announce the Fall Session for Thinking Body online classes. \nAs some of you know\, I’ve been developing a more personal approach to the practice of the Syntonics created by Judith Koltaï\, whose own teaching stems from Thérèse Bertherat\, Françoise Mézières\, Charlotte Selver and Elsa Gindler. \nIn this class\, you will be introduced to getting feedback from your own body and letting itself rebalance through the use of “test positions” sustained in slow\, anatomically optimal positions. This accessible practice is self-regulating on the nervous system and also readily available to all. We will also spend time studying the minutiae of posture and movement coordination\, and get familiar with ways to expand range of motion with sensory input as we become more intimate with our skeleton and its properties. \nThe class is injury-free and can be practiced by all as a “prequel” to any health and training protocol\, no matter where you are on your journey to a deeper relationship to your whole self. I look forward to working with you in class. \nClasses will run from November 3rd to December 8th 2020. Classes are twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 pm to 6 pm MT via Zoom. \nRegistration fees are $110 for 12 classes (recorded classes available if needed).  \nTo register\, please send a message to me at this address: irousseau.moveandbemoved@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Oderin (NAC)
DESCRIPTION:Oderin is a new dance theatre creation based on a collection of poems by NL poet Agnes Walsh (Oderin\, Pedlar Press 2018). These exquisite poems depict Walsh’s mother’s difficult life growing up in Placentia\, Newfoundland\, then her later decline living with dementia. A tender and raw account of a personal mother – daughter relationship\, this work brings rich and complex human experiences to life through an provocative multidisciplinary collaborative lens. “These poems present a unique opportunity to put all my learning over 45 years of play-making as actor\, director and teacher into the challenge of staging these poems. Oderin explores one’s sense of duty and devotion\, the experience of resettlement\, nostalgia\, family\, landscape\, the loss of memory and self\, dementia and death […] ” – C. Tomlinson \nThis is one of two live streams taking place as part of partnership between Neighbourhood Dance Works (NDW) and NAC Dance through #DanceForth. #DanceForth is the new NAC Dance livestream project.

Focused on developing capacity for internal sensations this gentle and restorative movement practice is accessible to all bodies. Continuum views the body not as a mechanical object but a living process and aims to often restrictive cultural conditioning through stimulating natural undulating movements. Somatic practices have shown to be beneficial for pain\, recovery from injury\, deep relaxation and continue to be utilized to support artists in creative practice. \nAbout the Instructor\n\n\n\nAshley Johnson is a Registered Somatic Movement Educator trained in group facilitation and hands-on bodywork as a teacher of the Mitzvah Technique/Itcush Method and Continuum Movement.   She works with diverse populations in movement re-education and injury rehabilitation to shift postural patterning and increase movement efficiency.
