The Body as an Organically Integrated Operant Tool, an Intensive at the Grotowski Institute
We will start from basic training aimed at stimulating and improving the function of the musculoskeletal system – its motor function, mobility, flexibility and stability. The focus will be on confronting psycho-physical patterns with the methodology of our practice. We are interested in awakening fresh perception, consciousness and physical sensitivity through working indoors and outdoors, including in locations that offer limited comfort. The work will involve developing our instincts, reactions and reflexes. A safe space will be created for expanding our consciousness and building up autonomy while staying in relation to other people and our environment. We will follow the path of creative expression and explore the values shaping the body-mind.
