Osteopathy, a perceptive reference in the service of dancers’ creativity
The parameters of palpation as developed in osteopathy will be the basis of this workshop, conceived as a sensorial pathway towards the adoption of motion. The transmission of tools coming from osteopathy will reveal to dancers the restrictions of their own bodily systems, as well as their preferred schemas, but above all enrich their sensations and integrate this specific perceptive reference as a source of motion and creativity, in a new sense of self-presence.
