Movement for Meditators with Laura V Ward
Tuesdays from 5:00-6:15pm EST, 2:00-3:15pm PST
July 14- September 29 (12 Weeks)
$400 for this 12-week movement & theory course on Zoom
This course is for people familiar with Laban Space concepts, Continuum breath practices, and Laura-style somatic inquiry. I will be teaching with an emphasis on going deeper into experience.
What if I have limited mobility?
No problem. You can move at whatever level of ability you have. Breathing is movement. Bringing the concepts we will work with into your imagination with no movement will still greatly affect your bodymind.
Laura Victoria Ward is a maximalist artist, choreographer, somatic movement educator, consciousness explorer, Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst, teacher, musician, painter, somanaut (integral anatomist), psychonaut, and meditator. She is the artistic director of Octavia Cup Dance Theatre. She has been teaching movement, creating dance theater, and performing in New York State, the Hudson Valley, and internationally for almost 30 years.
Participating equally in both experiential and performative practices—encompassing movement, awareness, and expression—lays the foundation for Laura's work, which explores creativity, play, inquiry, and the infinite wonder of existing in a human body. An expansive knowledge of diverse practices, hands-on bodywork, anatomy, and kinesiology underpins Laura’s playful investigation including Continuum Movement, classical ballet training, Laban/Bartenieff, physical theater, and nondual awareness meditation (with Michael Taft). She has been meditating for over 30 years.
Please discuss with me if you are uncertain.
