Body Movement Class
Class is open to all, no previous movement experience required.
Carrie Ahern is looking for people interested in participating in an exploration of physical practices that open up awareness to the body as a site and source of knowledge. She is looking to go beyond a goal oriented, “fitness” approach to an appreciation of simply sensing the body and its potentialities. This ability to become intimate with the current state of our bodies and minds can act as an antidote to what Nietzsche calls the “de-sensualization and over-sensitization” of modern life.
The class will combine movement, touch, interaction and play. The group will generate written material acknowledging their personal experience. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a notebook. 90 minute class.
The class is free, but the cost of the rehearsal space will be split among the participants. Wed 6-7:30 pm, October 1, 8, 15, and 22.
Please write to Carrie by September 15th to reserve your place in this class: carrie AT carrieahern DOT com.
The Nietzsche Circle has invited choreographer Carrie Ahern to create a dance interpretation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra to premiere in Spring 2009. Carrie Ahern and Yunus Tuncel from the Nietzsche Circle have been working on the project since September 2007.
