Julieta Mateo - The Reevolution of Motion
ATTENDING TO YOURSELF
Movement, thinking, breathing, sensations & feelings.
This workshop enquires about the connection with yourself in relationship with nature. By paying attention to yourself you can slow down, by slowing down you can sense what you are doing and more important: HOW are you doing it. By sensing what & how are you moving you can start to make distinctions between habitual ways of organising yourself in motion and familiar ways of doing it, and this new way of sensing yourself is the first step toward in getting to know yourself better. Allowing the creativity that lives in you to introduce new patterns of motion.
