In OSF classes we enter a creative process; letting go of outer layers of holding to find primal energy and ease. Guided by embodied imagery as a powerful tool for transformation we’ll learn to move with agility, transparency and depth. Through alignment studies, movement exploration and group improvisation we’ll cultivate a deep connection to our inner and outer environments. A remarkably effective and revolutionary way of learning, the OSF approach can catalyze learning and transformation in many kinds of practices and in daily life.
This series is open to adults and teens, all abilities celebrated. Of interest to dancers, artists, writers, musicians, actors, athletes, elders and people of all ages desiring ways to visualize, move and be in their bodies with originality and joy. Please RSVP.
