Connected Arms; Changed Self-Image
Sunday, March 28, 2010
12:00 noon – 3:30 p.m.
$60.00 (early registration)

“The parts of the body that are easily defined in the awareness are those that serve man daily, while the parts that are dull or mute in his awareness play only an indirect role in his life and are almost missing from his self-image when he is in action.” ~ Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais

During this workshop you will learn to become aware of and utilize the skeletal connection of your arms to your shoulders, chest, vertebrae, and the rest of yourself.  Your self-image will transform as your body image and self-use becomes more complete.

This will be done through the exploration of Feldenkrais, Awareness Through Movement lessons.  In result you will learn to move your arms with more power and force, while using less effort.  By finding this connection within yourself you will find out how to prevent overuse injuries from occurring in your hands and upper limbs by not using them excessively. 

Discover the connection of your arms to your skeletal organization and find a fuller self-image.

Donna Bervinchak will teach this workshop at the Alonzo King LINES Dance Center at 26 Seventh Street / Market St., in San Francisco.  To sign up for this workshop call the dance center at 415.863.3040 x221.

Stand On Your Own Two Feet
Sunday, July 11, 2010
12:00 noon – 3:30 p.m.

“Thus, if we eliminate from standing all that is extraneous to it, such as standing manly, femininely, authoritatively, nicely, efficiently, arrogantly, proudly, or meekly and all the other cross motivations that we cultivate in childhood and adolescence with such wholehearted conviction of doing right, there remains standing as dictated by the structure of the body and its nervous mechanisms.  A stance that is rare, but of which we are all capable.” ~ Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, “The Potent Self”
