Qualities of Presence Workshop Series

with Amy Voris

 

Along with Amy Voris I am offering a series of 2-day professional development workshops in 2025 and 2026 for movement / dance practitioners to support the exploration of spontaneously-emerging movement and inner-witnessing skills.

​

We’re excited to make these a closed group to enable group connection and in-depth inquiry. Therefore, we ask that participants be able to attend all weekends of each series. 

​​

About the Workshops

​

The weekend explorations will draw on somatically-informed methods from Experiential Anatomy and the mover-witness framework (Authentic Movement). They will emphasise a ‘channel’ or realm of perception which will be explored with some definition and guidance while supporting participants to source emergent movement. Themes will include:

​

• Proprioception and orientation

• Sensation – the sensory organ of the skin and the special senses

• Interoception and emotion – the presence and movement of mood and feeling

• The emergence of image – the presence (and movement) of metaphors. 

​

Who is it for?

 

Movement / somatic practitioners who work within teaching, therapeutic as well as creative and performative contexts. Please note that this series is suitable for those with prior experience of in-depth somatic movement processes.
