From the basics in dance training, to finding movement, space and rhythm, to mixing, working through and editing the composition, to abstraction, reflection and finally emerging, this workshop connects all steps with the living inhabited body in the living inhabited space. Somatic embodiment methods form the starting point for the physical and creative exploration of dance. With release technique, Feldenkrais method, somatic research, experiential anatomy and improvisation / instant composition, skills in somatic choreography are trained. In a final showing, the sensing performance and embodied appearance will be explored.

Ausführliche Seminarinformationen
EMERGE Continuing Education // Somatics in Dance, Choreography & Performance
Concept: Heike Kuhlmann & Katja Münker
Lecturers: Andrea Keiz, Heike Kuhlmann, Susanne Martin, Katja Münker & Andrew Wass
Emerge // Somatics in Dance, Choreography & Performance is a 250-hour, modular, in-service specialization in Somatic Pedagogy for use in artistic, creative, performative & educational professions.
The sentient body and the experience/experiencing of oneself in movement and in interaction with the environment are the focus of this dance-choreographic advanced training.
The methods Body-Mind Centering®, Feldenkrais Method and Authentic Movement form the basis for movement trainings and aesthetic research. With improvisation and composition strategies, these experiences are made creatively creative and performative-artistic usable. This enables the development of individual dance abilities in their deep, embodied potential. Connected to the somatic experience, choreographic criteria and tools are taught. The participants are thus accompanied through an artistic development process in which they (further) develop their own present, powerful and subtle penetration of movement as an aesthetic form and conclude with a presentation.
For whom is Emerge recommended?
This continuing education is aimed at educators, therapists, teachers, dancers, dance/theater educators, choreographers and anyone who wants to implement creative action and relaxed, confident performance in their everyday life or profession.
What does Emerge promote?
- Development of somatic-choreographic action through a strengthening of sensory reference in decision-making and in the use of choreographic strategies.
- Unfolding creativity through training in strategies for shaping individual and collaborative creative processes, strategies for overcoming creative blocks.
- Deepening embodiment through body awareness training (being at home in the body), strengthening the body's own resources and sensory reference in movement.
