Spring/Summer Workshops

At the Haelan Centre, Crouch End:

Sunday 7th February “Opening the Chest”
10.30-4.00 | £35/£30

Although its name suggests rigidity, your chest is actually built for flexibility, with each pair of ribs having up to 8 joints and being partly made of cartilage. Even your breastbone is not one solid bone. A day to open up the possibilities for movement in your chest, improving breath, posture – and everything you do.

Sunday March 28 ‘Moving in Gravity’
10.30-4.00 | £35/£30

So many of us pull ourselves around, up off the floor, up stairs, out of chairs without the ease, grace or balance we would like. A day to play with shifting weight and re-finding easier pathways to move.

Sunday May 9th ‘Lengthening the Hamstrings’
10.30-4.00 | £35/£30

Recently the benefits of the usual static or passive stretching routines have been called into question by research. Dr.Feldenkrais offered an answer some years ago, working with integrated patterns of whole body movement to enable muscles to lengthen when needed. Come and try. No pain. Enjoy the gain.

Sunday June 20 ‘Advanced Feldenkrais Lessons (for the public)’
10.30-4.00 | £35/£30

If you have been doing Feldenkrais for a while and/or would like to try some of the more challenging lessons we don’t always get to do in mixed weekly classes this is for you.

Movement for Voice: The Feldenkrais Method®

March 27th South Street Art Centre, Reading.
£30/£20

We create our voice with the whole of ourselves. Tension in the neck, jaw, shoulders, back, belly, pelvic floor, diaphragm – even a hand or leg can disrupt our breathing, distort the channel for the breath or mean we cannot make best use of the vocal folds, larynx, tongue, resonators and so on. Sometimes we have personal habits of moving or posture that involve tension; sometimes the stress of standing in front of people causes tension, sometimes the character or situation an actor or singer is playing simply doesn’t make it easy.
Of interest to anyone who uses their voice professionally to act, sing, teach or present, here is a day to begin to look at the interaction of breath, posture and movement for the voice.

South Street Arts Centre 21 South Street, Reading, RG1 4QU
