Upcoming Events:
Sunday 7 April 2024
A psychomotor approach to expressive movement: as influenced by the work of Alfred Adler and Mary Wigman
Presenter: Nana Koch, Ed.D., LCAT, BC-DMT, NCC, LPC, LMA
Time: 9.30am-5.00pm AEST
Location: The Jack Dyer Community Room, Cnr Gleadell & Highett Streets, Richmond VIC 3121
Join Nana Koch in Melbourne as she presents a didactic and experiential workshop about the full expression of the individual.
Together, we will see what Adler’s concept of life force looks like in the body. We will identify blockages and tension patterns that prevent mobility and full expression, that affect body alignment and movement efficiency, we will explore movement sequences to free the body of tension and holding, and we will experience how improvisation helps unleash a full range of feelings and emotions in the body.
