Mindfulness & Movement

This is a course about the relationship between our bodies and the environment. We will engage in a series of embodied practices that allow us to bring more awareness and intention to each of our unique patterns of behavior. We will explore the ways in which movement is central to our self-image and to our interaction with the world around us. With a playful curiosity, we will engage in movement and improvisational theater exercises that involve our bodies and our voices. From this place of self-awareness, we will also explore site-specific engagements (both natural and artificial). We will discover how particular modes of interaction with our surroundings influence our experience. We will move, write, create, and interact. Students will work collectively toward a site-specific (place-based) experience that may be shared with the Sterling and Craftsbury community.
