Over dit evenement
BODY OF VOICE is a somatic approach that explores the dynamic relationship between body, movement and voice.
RESONATING THE SPINE - ENDOCRINE MAP FOR PRESENCE AND VOICE
In this Body of Voice Workshop we will dive into the energetic support of our vertical body,
exploring the endocrine map that configures through the length of the spine.
Starting from sensing the Front of the Spine and its central support, we will tap into the landscape of
endocrine glands, their specific qualities and how each of them supports our physical and energetic
body. The endocrine system is our primary chemical system for regulation and transformation.
Through the close relationship between the endocrine glands and blood flow, the body is perceived
as an interconnected whole, modulating reproduction, metabolism and response to the environment.
Endocrine glands are located along the front surface of the Spine and are divided into three areas:
below the earth, upon the earth, above the earth, each with its own nature and quality of expression.
In this workshop we will map a few, exploring their quality of presence, movement and voice.
Endocrine glands are related to the essence and are deeply part of who we are. They are like
crystals; they are the energy beyond words and actions.
