The arc of the lab

• • Over the first seven weeks, you will expand your movement vocabulary and develop environmental awareness, showing how the living surroundings are always shaping and informing your individual creative process.
  • In the eighth week, we reach a moment of crystallisation: each person presents the current state of their work—a still frame, alive and shifting, held gently under the microscope. It is not final, but a moment to see, express, and birth new clarity, while feeling the ripples of the group’s energy supporting and amplifying each discovery.
  • The ninth week is a time to digest, integrate, and acknowledge what has been enlivened, reflecting on what has emerged and considering the next steps to sustain it.
  • One free 1-1 movement session to deepen your individual process which you are recommended to book between weeks 4 and 7, before the crystallisation. 

What to expect

• • Engaging in improvisation, deep listening, and environmental awareness to access new creative and intuitive pathways.
  • Developing a movement practice that supports your creative process, decision-making, and sense of embodied knowing.
  • Exploring unfamiliar states of movement to expand your capacity for noticing, responding, and trusting what emerges.
  • Individual exploration alongside group witnessing and support, feeling the ripple effects of collective attention amplifying insight.
  • Exercises and guidance offered in response to what emerges in the group, so the process evolves dynamically for everyone.
  • Reflection on your creative process and how movement can sustain and support it, culminating in a moment of crystallisation and later integration.

What you will gain

• • A stronger sense of trust in your body, intuition, and creative impulses.
  • A deeper familiarity with your own creative process, rooted in embodied experience.
  • Confidence in improvising and working with the unknown, whether in movement, art, or life.
  • The ability to bear witness to your own patterns, impulses and habits—where you get stuck, where you resist, and how to move through it
  • A heightened awareness of the interplay between self and surroundings, recognising how the environment informs insight, movement, and creative emergence.
  • An experience of a living, responsive process where the group’s energy and discoveries shape the guidance and exercises, supporting each person’s unfolding.

Who is it for?

This lab is for artists, makers, writers, movers, thinkers, seekers or anyone who wants to explore movement as a source of insight, not just expression. You don’t need a set project or goal—just curiosity and a willingness to step into the unknown.

Testimonials

“Claire’s Movement Lab was a deeply insightful process for me. My initial intention was to explore and develop creative projects in relation to my work offerings. Through the sessions – and by truly staying with what was most alive and present –  the process revealed so much more. It opened up core themes and tensions within my personal, relational, and professional life in a gentle, explorative, and creative way.

Claire’s attuned, embodied, and sensitive approach allowed me to stay curious, listen deeply, and meet each moment with presence. Her facilitation held space for the unknown, for play, and for honest inquiry – which in turn helped me access deeper layers of knowing and expression that I hadn’t anticipated. I left the process feeling excited and with a renewed sense of trust in the unfolding of my creative path and my bodily wisdom. sharing this process with the group and witnessing others in their process was also deeply touching and invaluable. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys working experientially and creatively.”

Sophia, somatics practitioner, embodied arts and research

“I really enjoyed working with Claire’s practice. I found intuitive movement to be a really great way to release tension, to land in my body and become aware of what’s going on there. Claire’s guidance was gentle and listening, it made me feel safe and able to explore.

I really appreciated Claire’s emphasis on arriving as we are. It meant that on the days where we felt light and playful, we could move with those feelings. And when we felt tired and heavy we were equally encouraged to sit with those feelings. This generally lead to much more relaxed and connective sessions.

As someone looking to better understand my own body’s needs, patterns and tendencies, these workshops proved a great support. I would certainly like to work with her again!“
