Searching for a Conscious Risk - A Hidden Physical Morphology - A Deviation of Velocity.

Tijen's classes and workshops use a physically & emotionally demanding movement methodology designed to encourage, inspire and build awareness and connectivity in the constant search for movement.

When we direct the mind or attention to different areas of the body and initiate movement from these areas, we change the quality of our movement. Through a dynamic movement language we will embody a sensory awareness of our own physical possibilities to let go of one’s patterns and preconceptions about the moving body.

Tijen will guide us to work from the awareness of the relationships between our mind/body as a starting point for action.

The merging of these two - awareness and action - can allow for a conscious risk, a deviation of velocity, a constant fall and abandon in the body combined with an understanding and availability to trust. By defining and refining independent movement materials for different parts in our body and segregating those parts from each other and by investigating a certain sequential order of the body, we can explore multi-dimensional movement and visit new and unfamiliar ways to move.

Through the awakening and following of the natural yet deeply hidden physical morphology we will facilitate an intertwined and many-layered space within the 4 dimensional body, to stimulate states of letting go, process, availability and allowing, fostering a non-linear and ever shifting practice of change.

When movement asks for full engagement, the connection with knowledge and resonance is inherent in the moving-thinking body, freedom appears naturally and knowledge swells.

This allows us to discover the relationship between the smallest level of activity within the body and the largest movement of the body, aligning the inner cellular movement with the external expression of dynamic movement through space.

We will engage in the dialogue of resistance, resolution, resonance and velocity.
