Continuum I: Body Intelligence with Priscilla Auchincloss, Ph.D., Authorized Continuum Movement Teacher physikosinfo@gmail.com or 585-721-4220
This series introduces you to Continuum Movement. Each class builds a sequence of breath, sound, and micromovement as a starting point for movement exploration. New elements of the practice are added week by week. The course is designed to give you a sense of the range and depth of the work and covers principles such as the fluid nature of the body, the uses of attention, sound, and imagination in movement, and the recovery of embodiment in modern society. You will experience how your system unfolds and how insight emerges in response to this new way of working with your physicality.
There will be "check in" times during each class, in the
understanding that it is important to bring forward the doubts and
challenges that come up, as well as the experiences of insight and
freedom. Indeed, insight often follows from daring to speak honestly
about difficulties. Furthermore, what one person says often helps others to validate and trust their experience.
Continuum II: Movement In Vivo with Priscilla Auchincloss, Ph.D. Authorized Continuum Movement Teacher physikosinfo@gmail.comor 585-721-4220 The body is the path.
This class is a further exploration into the life of the body, developing attention, breath, sound, and
micromovement as tools of inquiry and processes of nourishment. As the intelligence of the body awakens, it reveals its
capacity to reshape patterns of thought, feeling, and action, and to
open channels of subtle perceiving and deep resourcing. The work goes
where it is needed, towards a state of health, resilience, and
body-mind congruence. Newcomers, please contact Priscilla prior to joining this class.
Continuum III: Fluid Strength with Priscilla Auchincloss, Ph.D.
Dates & times to be announced.
Fluid
strength begins with the fluid body. This series introduces the
concepts and elements of Continuum Movement -- breath, sounding,
attention, micromovement, wave motion, and layering. Then, by changing
the body's orientation to gravity, we explore the challenges and
movement orchestrations that arise. The addition of weights is another
variation that each person may experiment with. The idea is to feel the
pleasure of our strength
and to learn how to stay fluid, be safe, and increase our
adaptability in the process.
Priscilla, on the chair
Priscilla Auchincloss earned her Ph.D. in experimental particle
physics at Columbia University and worked in academia for over 20 years before diving full-time into teaching, researching and writing about movement.The seeds of this transition were
planted long before, however, and were nurtured in the experience of Continuum
Movement with Deborah Raoult, Emilie Conrad, and the One River Practice Group.In Continuum Movement, she discovered
the “internal” side of movement practice and realized that the moving body
is a source of information and knowledge, as important as anything taught in modern classrooms.Other strong influences
in her work include Augusto Boal (Theatre of the Oppressed), Olivia Corson (Body Tales),
and Susan Harper (Continuum Montage). Physikos Movement is the business she
created to explore body intelligence and guide others in accessing this vast,
potent resource.
