Workshops with Claire Osborne

MOVEMENT DAY

Sunday, Mar 14, 2010, 10:30a-4:30p

Become more present and alive in each moment. Move into Body, Heart and Life. This work offers you the opportunity to:

  • Develop your personal movement ability and language
  • Understand and enjoy some of your/our habits and behaviour patterns
  • Explore communication and expression
  • Become more playful, awake, aware, expressive, creative and compassionate
  • Open to the possibility of change and transformation
  • Open to the movement of Life itself

You will be guided to explore movement for ourselves, with each other and with the environment. As individuals and as a group we grow, share, understand, witness, play, create.

All are welcome, experienced movers and complete beginners. No previous experience of any dance/movement work needed. People who have enjoyed this work include practitioners of meditation and body based awareness practices, (e.g. Buddhism, Yoga, tai chi), dancers and actors, psychotherapists, counsellors and body-workers, health care professionals, practitioners of dance and theatre, and complete beginners interested in personal discovery.  Cost €60.
