Opening Into New Territories – Skinner Releasing Technique™
Online Workshop
with
Bettina Neuhaus
In the frame of Winter Tanz 2021/22
Skinner Releasing Technique™ (SRT) is an integrative approach to movement developed by American dance artist Joan Skinner. It is recognized as a significant way to experience and empower the creative self in the act of dancing, tapping into one’s own imagination, intuition and wisdom. SRT stimulates the process of letting go of unnecessary tension, releasing new possibilities in how we perceive and how we dance. Poetic imagery and hands-on studies facilitate deep and more nuanced kinaesthetic experience of movement. Noticing as a first step for change and allowing movement to happen are key to this practice that provides specific tools to access effortlessness and multi-directional alignment, depth, presence and freedom in movement and stillness.
Please note: According to the current status, the workshop will take place completely online. Further information will be communicated by mail shortly before the workshop starts.
