Service Description

This fall, explore extreme deceleration through practices rooted in Butoh's meditative movement. Micro Motion experiments with stretching time through micro-movements and deliberate attention. Time becomes malleable when we refuse to be rushed. Simple gestures--rising from a chair, turning your head, chewing a bite of food--become the doorways to heightened awareness when performed with intentional slowness. Through guided exploration, we'll move between the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of slowness--transforming ordinary actions into studies of sensation, experimenting with the spaces between thoughts, and discovering the physicality of emotions. Micro Motion is for anyone curious about alternative ways of being, moving, and perceiving. No experience is necessary! *Pricing for this class is on a sliding scale. Choose to pay $10, $15, or $20.
