Body Mind Centering®

In these workshops we will holographically explore the human body to understand self and increase physical potential using tools from Body-Mind Centering® through movement and hands-on study. Participants are invited to enter their animal-like appetites and childlike curiosities for physical investigation through engagement of the sensorial body.

We will explore embodied anatomy and developmental movement through the systems of the body (e.g. bones, organs, ligaments, fluids, endocrine, nervous system, senses and perception) and investigate how these materials inform our dance and performing practice.

Body-Mind Centering® is an integrated approach to transformative experience through movement re-education and hands-on repatterning.

Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, it is an experiential study based on the embodiment and application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical and developmental principles, utilising movement, touch, voice and mind.

This study leads to an understanding of how the mind is expressed through the body and the body through the mind. The study of Body-Mind Centering is a creative process in which we learn to meet and recognise ourselves and others through the exploration of embodiment. Each person is both the student and the subject matter.

Principles and techniques are taught in the context of self-discovery and openness. We learn to engage ourselves and others non-judgementally starting at the place where we are and the place where others are. In this way we seek to find the ease that underlies transformation. Body-Mind Centering has an almost unlimited number of areas of application.

It is currently being used by people in movement, dance, yoga, bodywork, physical and occupational therapy, psychotherapy, child development, education, voice, music, art, meditation, athletics and other body-mind disciplines.
