about MOVING PERCEPTION:
The
project will provide a series of inclusive specialized movement
workshops, welcoming people living in the local Lambeth community and
beyond, and in particular welcoming people with visual impairment. The
workshops are open to everybody -sighted and non sighted- and they are
free!
The
workshops will be delivered by professional movement specialists with
difference techniques specialization which will range from The
Feldenkrais Method to Skinner Release Technique, Franklin Method and
Thai Chi, Pilates and Contact Improvisation amongst others.
Those
techniques are particularly accessible to people with visual impairment
as foreground kinaesthetic empathy over visual mimesis.
The
participants are invited to move their perception of their own bodies
and the environment throughout the exercises, discovering a greater ease
of movement and developing self confidence.
The
weekly inclusive tango sessions organized by Adriana Pegorer in the
last 2 years have proved that creating a space for people to learn
together in a mutal relationship is possible and provide a different
learning experience.
Those
workshops will enable the participants to enter similar mainstream
dance sessions in the future with self-assurance and more awareness of
their own bodies and the environment.
Participants will explore movement in an energetic, fun and safe way as well as introspectively.
