PAST THE EDGES OF THE SKIN
I'll guide you through your unconscious with meditative and hypnosis techniques toward an embodied state, listening to your interior geography. Here, attentive to the information that arrives, we will develop slow and nuanced choreography unique to each person as a mechanism for moving information through the body. This workshop listens for the psychological and abstract and moves toward feelings. We embody with subtle body awareness. No movement experience is necessary, come as you are.

Tools: Hypnosis, Meditation, Breathwork, Dance Improvisation

Feels: Open, Hypnotic, Floating

From Monica

I've spent most of my life as an Artist, Choreographer, Movement Director and more recently, a Hypnotist. I've always been curious of the unconscious and what springs arise from its exploration. I use Hypnosis is a therapeutic movement practice. I'm interested in the abstract dimension of immediate information that arrives in the body when deeply relaxed and listening. My practice is both physical and nonsensical, allowing information to move toward feeling. I'm the director of 'Open Movement' at Performance Space New York, co-Founder of 'This is a Performance School' and Founder of Otion Front Studio in New York City. Connection is my motor.
