‘Awareness Through Movement’ lessons from the Feldenkrais Method offer you the chance to slow down, feel what you are doing more clearly, and discover new possibilities with more ease and nuance – in performance and in life.

This is the first of a new series of advanced training with Victoria in the Clod Ensemble’s beautiful space just a few stops from London Bridge. Designed for newer or returning practitioners (but open to all!), the series will offer opportunities to refresh, clarify, practice and improve the fundamentals of your Functional Integration practice – in both strategy and technique – and consider the relationship to Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons as well.

Lessons lying on the front offer us many possibilities for learning, but often we have students who find lying on the front difficult, uncomfortable or simply not possible for different reasons. Often we have to adapt, think how to find those possibilities in other positions.

Through these lessons, you may also experience shifts in your posture, your sense of support from the ground and of the space around you, while any heightened sensitivity, ease and curiosity you develop may bring changes to the quality of your connection with others as well (including your connection with your co-performers and the audience if you dance or act).

This is an opportunity for young, old, experienced movers and novices to take time to explore and discover together in depth – but at your own pace.
