At the foundation of the Open Floor Movement Practice is the 4x4 weave: 4 dimensions of embodiment (physical, emotional, mental, and soulful) layered with 4 relational hungers (solitude, connection, belonging, and Spirit). This weave is the terrain of all our dances, and where and how we dance on the Open Floor.
Fertile Ground (previously known as Bare Bones) is a series for beginners and seasoned movers alike to explore the common ground of all somatic practices…the 4 dimensions of embodiment. We know there is no real separation between these aspects of ourselves for we cannot move the body without touching our feelings, activating thoughts, or expressing our one-of-a-kind soulfulness. However, in this foundational series, we aim to differentiate each of these dimensions to better understand their particular essence or familiarity, explore their shapes, tones, or expressions, and welcome them all into the movement vocabulary of our Being.
All bodies that come in a good way, regardless of experience, are welcome to join. No prerequisites are required. Limited to 10 participants.
