Move into Life Workshops 2007/8 Diary Dates
Environmental Movement

Rediscovering the sheer joy of movement
Movement skills for professional and personal development
Move into Life is a distinctive approach to movement and embodiment (experiencing your life through the body). It is based on the structure and vitality of your body. Move into Life has proved a useful resource for artists, therapists and teachers, for developing an approach to well being, and for personal practice. These four workshops introduce different elements of Move into Life work at different times of year. Each workshop stands alone and focuses attention on different movement skills and different areas of life.
See a description of each workshop below the workshop dates.

Body in Movement: Back to Basics
Engage with the basics of Move into Life. By attending to your body in movement, become more alert to:

your movement patterns in relation to the environment
how thoughts, feelings, sensations and memories influence you as you move.

Learn new movement skills, start to change your habits and unlock a wider movement vocabulary. Open to all. Cross-Currents: Movement and Communication
View and experience life from movement rather than from a fixed position. See how your own movement and that of others are interdependent. Become aware:

through your movement of how the dynamics in a group are constantly co-created by you and the others
of your own position, movement and attitude within those cross-currents.

Apply these discoveries in your work and daily life. Open to all.

Journey: Valley to Rock to Sea
Environmental Movement On stunning coastlines, travelling the same path each day, witness your changing patterns as you move in the environment. Environmental movement includes understanding active/passive movement, proportions, transition/position and point-line-angle as you interweave your moving body with the grass, the rocks, the sea. Open to all.

Strata: Autobiographical Movement
Select a theme present in your life and move with it in different environments - a hillfort, the woods, the sea. Then explore it alone and in communication with others. Finally, create a short movement score to crystallise your experience and to be witnessed by others in the group. This workshop will guide and support you through these steps from open improvisation through to the form of your choice. Movement experience necessary.

Each workshop stands alone. The cycle of workshops is also designed as a complete programme, supporting a progressive and cumulative awareness and embodiment of movement skills.

Some Comments by Participants

“You should encourage people to come back again and again to your workshops – my experience and learnings get richer and deeper each time I attend.”

“My first experience in this work with Sandra Reeve was such a powerful and basic lesson for me that my mind still reels from the experience. That lesson was to find the measure and rhythm of my own step… it comes to mind daily.”

“As a professional dance movement therapist, it has enhanced my seeing, sensing and feeling and taught me to trust my process, to offer my interventions into the space freely without attachment. It has enriched my life – personally and professionally beyond measure.”

“Moving in nature seems to awaken my senses in a way I rarely experience indoors… alive, open and responsive, I feel a deep sense of inter-being with my environment.”

Individual Move into Life sessions are available in West Dorset by arrangement. Please contact me directly if you are interested in regular sessions.
