Poise, intention and stillness in movement
A practical workshop using hands-on, playful procedures and movement games which we, Paul & Tessa, have developed from out of our own research inspired by the Carrington teaching and 26 years of running our training course.
From our lifetime experience in the arts & education our aim is to work with simplicity, playfulness and fun; exploring poise, intention, stillness and flow in hands-on exchange and simple movement ‘games’ in space with partners and as a group enriching our liveliness and spacial awareness when teaching.
