Intro to Authentic Movement

Hey every Body!! Come move with me!

Authentic Movement is a structure for movement improvisation that follows your body’s impulse, instead of the mind’s. It’s a practice that comes out of movement therapy but can also be done as an expressive art.

Intro to Authentic Movement
Sunday, December 2
1-3pm
At eXit SPACE School of Dance, 414 NE 72nd St, Seattle, Washington 98115
Facilitated by Alysa Haas

In this intro, I’ll guide the group through one version of an authentic movement improvisation structure. We will be going SLOW. And I’ll be holding space for all the feels and curiosities to be safe. We will not include partnered moving in this session, but we may break into pairs or groups to “witness” (observe with respect) each other’s movement, for those who choose to be observed. Authentic movement can be an emotional, transformative, or challenging experience, so be prepared to take space for yourself to re-ground afterward if you need. Again, I am very committed to creating a safe, careful space to hold these experiences and will do my best to bring us all down to the ground at the end of the session.

My intention for this session is to share authentic movement concepts with you all, because it is so dear to me! After the session, I’ll check in with folks to see who might be interested in an ongoing class and/or an ongoing group-run practice. But this session requires no commitment! Just come and check it out if your body is feeling in need of some expression.

Please bring $10 cash or check to contribute toward the $50 space rental. (If we get more than 5 people, then we’ll even it out somehow.)

P.S. If you’ve heard me talk about “body collage,” authentic movement is a building block for that. 🙂

LOOKING FORWARD TO MOVING WITH YOU!
