We took part in a experiential anatomy class with Natalie Garrett. We focussed largely on the idea of somatic practice and how this is integrated within our practice and how it can develop our undertsanding of our body and how it moves and why.
Focus on touch- my body, the air, the room.
Instinct of sensations.. habitual, cultural etc
Flow
Music
Awareness of others and their moving
Feeling I am actually experiancing anatomy by practically doing it
Relationship between touch and breath
Sensation
Weight and gravity
Pressure points
Hot and cold
Lines and length in the room
In and out of awareness
Switching focusses voluntarily and involuntarily
Felt good to learn about anatomy while actually practicing it somatically instead of out of a book. Really connected with me and made me realise how much of our course is somatically based and how useful this really is to undertanding our body and really embodying the movement we perform.
