JETSUMMER DANCEWEEKS

Tijen Lawton

The body as an open system / A deviation of velocity
Monday 15/09 to Friday 19/09

10h to 13h

Tijen’s classes and workshops use a physically & emotionally demanding movement methodology designed to encourage, inspire and build awareness and connectivity in the constant search for movement. When we direct the mind or attention to different areas of the body and initiate movement from these areas, we change the quality of our movement. Through a dynamic movement language we will embody a sensory awareness of our own physical possibilities to let go of one’s patterns and preconceptions about the moving body.
The merging of awareness and action can allow for a conscious risk, a deviation of velocity, a constant fall and abandon in the body combined with an understanding and availability to trust. By defining and refining independent movement materials for different parts in our body and segregating those parts from each other and by investigating a certain sequential order of the body, we can explore multi-dimensional movement and visit new and unfamiliar ways to move. Through the awakening and following of the natural yet deeply hidden physical morphology we will facilitate an intertwined and many-layered space within the 4 dimensional body, to stimulate states of letting go, process, availability and allowing, fostering a non-linear and ever shifting practice of change. This allows us to discover the relationship between the smallest level of activity within the body and the largest movement of the body, aligning the inner cellular movement with the external expression of dynamic movement through space. We will engage in the dialogue of resistance, resolution, resonance and velocity.
