- Body-Mind Centering® as base for creativity

Workshop & module of the continuing education Emerge with Heike Kuhlmann

Jun. 15 2024 – Jun. 16 2024

Somatic work is a work of getting to know oneself, so that experiencing and experiencing are initially in the foreground. If somatic approaches are to be used for artistic processes, but of course also for others, the question arises: How do I get from experiencing and experiencing to acting? How do I make use of what I have experienced? How do I translate what I have experienced into my actions, into my artistic work?

What does this workshop focus on?

With the thought of output, of what it could/should be good for, the immersion can in turn be disturbed or even prevented. Embodiment processes need their very own and for each individual time. They need time to become completely what was not before, without being tangible before, how that could be. A process that is at the same time subtle and difficult to grasp in words is that of embodiment. So how is it possible to use a somatic approach like Body-Mind Centering® for design processes? That's what this weekend is all about. What is Body-Mind Centering®?
Body-Mind Centering® is already a very creative approach that uses different approaches depending on the body system (bones, muscles, organs, fluids,...). These serve to support the specific quality of the system to show itself and be experienced. For this reason it is also particularly suitable to support e.g. artistic processes.

During the weekend we will experience different body systems and move from these into creative design processes that will look dance improvisational as well as poetic and painterly. For example, Heike leads from immersing and experiencing the bones into an improvisation that explores the connection between interior and exterior space. In the exchange that follows, the group shares insights, experiences, as well as questions. This enriches the experience of the individuals and can furthermore create possible insights for which action/artistic work this body system can support. On the weekend we go in all foresight with the bones, fluids, nerves and muscles in a creative dialogue.
