photo Céline Babin Foundation for CI 4 ACI Sunday morning classes November 24 & December 8-15-22, 2013, 10-11:15am A look at our incredible capacity for physical adjustment to the movement of our environment. During this series of classes, we will have the opportunity to exercise our capacity to pay attention, in the present moment. We will cultivate tools to recognize and refine the constant dialogue that exists between our physical body and the forces passing through it. Our animal brain will be invited to overstep on our “social brain”. We will study how to study, we will research how to research, in order to be physically ready for improvisation, in contact with the ensemble of our partners (forces, objects, beings, space, sounds). We will practice to become permeable to the movement of weight, inside and outside of us. At the UQAM dance department, 840 Cherrier (Sherbrooke metro station), studio K-4110, 4th floor. Registration upon arrival ($45 for the series, $14 per class).
