Feldenkrais is a gentle body movement technique that focuses on somatic learning—helping individuals become more aware of their bodies, movements, and habits. It also has a lot in common with improv, such as awareness, spontaneity, and adaptability.
In this workshop we will explore how becoming more aware of your body can translate to being more alive and connected on stage, within your own self as well as with your scene partners. While we will use improv exercises to explore the work, you need not be proficient in improv skills to take the class as it will apply to those who perform in any capacity; participants will be met where they are.
As someone who habitually holds a lot of tension in my throat and jaw, I personally have had amazing experiences with using FDK to reach my voice and use it more effortlessly. Even just remembering the motions relaxes me and I’m eager to explore this further by directly linking it with improv in a class setting!
