Elemental Improvisation

Elemental Improv is working with the portals of

MOTION & SOUND & RHYTHM & TOUCH & STILLPOINT

to invite us to experience and explore our connection with the elemental forces on this planet: how we relate in time, gravity, flow, space & stillpoint; how we relate to each other and honor oneness in all of creation.
Allowing our authentic motion/dance, our sounds/song, our rhythm/timing, our contact/touch, our stillpoint/silence to emerge, we connect with our “original-one-of -a-kind” Soul-Nature. We celebrate the breath of Life and reclaim our birthright of joy, self-expression and ecstatic wellbeing in the temple of our bodies , with each other and community. I am offering: cost per person:

  • individual sessions (1hr-1+1/2hr) $60-75
  • 2hr class: $ 25-40 (sliding scale)
  • 1hr-class series (4-8 classes) $50-100
  • 1-day workshop (5hrs) $50 - 75 (sliding scale)
  • weekend workshop (10hrs) $100-160 (sliding scale)

Elemental Improv is an amazing addition to any Dance Studio syllable , any Massage School, any Center for Human Growth and Personal Development (like Esalen Institute). It will be formatted to serve your needs.

 

 

ELEMENTAL IMPROVISATIONAL LANGUAGE OF OUR SOUL.We are existentially connected to the elements through the experience of time, flow gravity, space and the inner mystery. Free improvisation works with the exploration of these elemental existential planes as they translate into movement & sound qualities and involve all of our 4 main bodies: physical/emotional/ mental/ spiritual / ethereal.
