The Halprin and Tamalpa legacy has a long history of working outdoors in collaboration with the natural world. After over five years of Tamalpa holding classes over Zoom, this series will be an opportunity to apply practices from our online studio to the natural environment. Each week we will explore a new somatic practice together indoors. Then, you will take the practice and repeat it on your own in relationship to and in connection with the natural world — whether that be remote wilderness, your back yard, or a city park — whatever is accessible to you. Explorations will follow gateways such as Sensory Awareness, Breath, Sounding and Movement that connect and open our bodies and minds to the animate, alive, more-than-human world. There will then be opportunities to share about your experiences with the group before learning the next practice.
No art or dance experience needed. Workshops are for ages 18+ only and disability access is not provided.
To get the most out of this online class, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device and reliable internet service. If you are using a handheld device, such as a pad or phone, please be sure to use a stand for your device so that it is held securely in place. You will want to have your hands free and be able to move freely and safely during movement exercises without worrying about your device falling. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for the drawing activity and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
