When we talk about a person’s “pattern”…
…how do we construct an image for ourselves?
Do we consider a person’s patterns of movement, as they relate to our inner library of Awareness Through Movement®? Do we kinesthetically try-on their patterns?
What is it about the way that they move that immediately catches our interest? What sort of movement patterns or skeletal configurations are primary in their actions, and which are absent? And in observing what is and is not there, what can we discover about the gaps in a person’s self-image?
In these 3 days we will explore pattern from a variety of viewpoints and become more confident about the choices we can make in response to what we see and sense from the initial assessment to the finishing touches we offer at the end of the lesson.
We will have ATMs and F.I. practices that start distally and connect through the whole person. We will also start proximally and work our way outward. We will learn to observe the primary hinge points that the person uses in their movement and how to shift them. There will also be movement “observation” exercises.
We will expand our repertoire of ways to investigate what sort of difference will make the biggest “difference” for our students.
