Open Source Forms / Dancing the Inner Landscape with Teresa Smith

Thursdays 5:30 – 7 pm
September 4, 11, 18, 25 and October 2, 9, 16,  23,  30

REGISTER: Earthbodybreath@gmail.com

In OSF classes we enter a creative process; letting go of outer layers of holding to find primal energy and ease. Guided by embodied imagery as a powerful tool for transformation we’ll learn to move with agility, transparency and depth. Through alignment studies, movement exploration and group improvisation we’ll cultivate a deep connection to our inner and outer environments. A remarkably effective and revolutionary way of learning, the OSF approach can catalyze learning and transformation in many kinds of practices and in daily life.

This ASK series is open to adults and teens, all abilities celebrated. Of interest to dancers, artists, writers, musicians, actors, athletes, elders and people of all ages desiring ways to visualize, move and be in their bodies with originality and joy.

Teresa Smith brings to her teaching a warm appreciation of each person’s essence and delights in awakening the creative spirit. She is a certified teacher of OSF and studied the root form Skinner Releasing for several decades. Teresa’s teaching and performing spans the fields of post-modern dance, release techniques, authentic movement, contact improvisation, butoh, ballet, Sufi dance meditation, holotropic breathwork and consciousness studies. Through Earthbody Events she presents performance and workshops emerging from an intimate conversation with the body, psyche and nature environment. Earthbodyevents.com
