Authentic Movement Workshop
2nd & 4th Mondays
July 13–August 24 | 6-8pm
At Waterstop Infoshop (20 N 2nd Ave E, Duluth)
“Movement, to be experienced, has to be 'found' in the body, not put on like a dress or a coat. There is that in us which has moved from the very beginning. It is that which can liberate us.”
— Mary Starks Whitehouse
Remember how to feel. Authentic Movement provides a simple structure for connecting with your body’s inward experience and expressing it outwardly through movement—a gentle, self-guided practice that everyone (people of all bodies, abilities, and backgrounds) can do; no dance or movement experience is needed. This series will help you come into contact with your inner knowing, let the voices of your body speak, and integrate the many layers of your lived experience. Pay-what-you-can (suggested $60) – no one turned away for lack of funds.
