Awaken your kinesthetic sense
& deepen your feelings for movement expression
About Creative Dance
An approach to body movement as an art activity pioneered by
Barbara Mettler, student of Mary Wigman in the early 1930s, Creative Dance awakens the kinesthetic sense, deepens the
kinesthetic capacity for movement expression, and provides the
fundamentals to experience the joy of movement for anyone
interested.
It is a language whose vocabulary is the interplay of
the elements of dance, force, time, and space and whose expression
is realized through individual, small and large group improvisation.
The study and practice of creative dance supports a primary need
for collective movement expression shared by us all.
About The Workshop
A full day Creative dance Workshop will serve as an introduction to the art of
body movement which comes out of the Mettler-based tradition.
The study of creative dance deepens our understanding of movement
expression as a basic human need. It is open to anyone who wishes
to further develop his/her capacity for movement expression and move
creatively with others.
Expect to explore movement possibilities, be open to making
discoveries as dances unfold, and to immerse yourself fully in this
fun yet focused workshop. The study of creative dance is
recommended for everyone... teachers, therapists, clergy, dancers,
artists, musicians, or anyone who is interested in movement
expression. Applications of the work are many and include the
fields of education, counseling, recreation, all the arts, and life
itself.

natural setting will perfectly support the weekend's creative dance work.
