EMOVE
This education is everything I was hoping for and more. It is a safe space in which I can discover the journey to more awareness of my own bodily knowledge, to learn and increase my awareness on all things related to Movement. This relates to the functionality of the Body and journeying to finding more ease, learning about the spaces in which we move and delving into the world of space harmony and becoming conscious about the varying qualities that make-up movements inviting uniqueness, difference allowing for more conscious choices. The education is facilitated by sensitive and generous educators who have a wealth of experience in LBMS.
As a student – thanks to the supervision of inspiring teachers – I experience a deepening of my body awareness. I get to understand my own movements better and as a result also the movements of others. As a teacher and choreographer I experience being able to do my work more precisely substantiated with relevant LBMS components as well as that I started to teach more somatically.
Where we as humans are being pushed more and more into our heads by the digital revolution, and are getting further and further away from our bodies and its movement, the LBMS has a special task for the future. The LBMS brings us back to our bodies and to our total person in space. LBMS is about movement, how I move, what I move and where I move in all its facets. By looking at movement from these different angles, we gain more insight into the moving body and the space around it. This gives us more room to move and improves our overall wellbeing. For me personally, the group of LBMS has become a new family, moving together, discovering and growing!
