Moving Sensing Bodies on Screen is an online movement class which aims to acknowledge what the screen affords, a different way to move and communicate, without losing touch with bodily presence and environmental awareness.Through an exploration of your own movement and your immediate physical space, I will guide you to find your own way to remain embodied when moving with others via a screen. This will be a gradual process of bringing the body more into awareness with itself in order to become more aware of its dialogue with the environment of which the screen is just one element.You will be introduced to how the screen frames our experience of movement online and how to use the screen to mediate your movement with spontaneity and presence. For this purpose, you will practise how to see with your whole body, not just the eyes. That is to say, you will experience how the act of seeing is intertwined with the other senses and the movement and shape that our bodies make in space. You will also practise moving with a sense of diffuse awareness, which is inclusive and expansive of the body, the physical environment, and the screen, all at once.The course will run over 10 weeks and will include exploration of body parts and measurements, 3D physical space vs. 2D screen, the language of the frame, the body as frame, sight, sound, touch, proprioception and how they interconnect in synesthesia, gravity, balance and moving with objects and cameras.The course is open to all ages and ability and no previous experience is required.
