performing dance - music - paint - camera / shiatsu and intuitive body work / movement workshops
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
about my path - practising painting and music (piano, voice etc.) since childhood, my studies so far have mainly been about the body, training movement through different dance techniques connecting rythm and improvisation. diplomated contemporary dancer and teacher (paris, 2002) i was drawn towards choreographical work and the stage. my interest in the body and energy brought me to the zen shiatsu school of amsterdam. since a couple of years i am practising improvisation outside in the city and in the nature. today my interest is deepening in the practice of energy and physicality, which i'd like to explore and express further.

>> This year we will be focusing on the Meridians - the energy circuits aligned within the body - described in traditional Eastern philosophy and medicine. The 12 Classical Meridians are the departure point for the workshop.
The idea of the workshop is to give the ground and the keys to become more conscious of the Meridians in the dance and in everyday life. We will work towards bringing an awareness of the Meridians through physical movement, and at the same time challenging and facilitating the movement quality / flexibility of the body, while we explore it through the Meridians.
Every day we will work with the combination of two meridians - connecting one lower and one upper body Meridian. (In Traditional Chinese Medicine the meridians are associated with each other, according to the « 6 divisions »).
The day consists of two parts :
the indoor - every morning we start in the studio,
and the outdoor - in the afternoon we move to a site on the mountain, by the sea.
Starting in the morning from guided body movement and Meridian stretchings**, we will explore Meridian movement improvisation in space.
The afternoon session will be divided into three stages : journey to the mountain, on foot / improvisation proposal in the site / meditation.
to give a dance to the mountain and the sea is a subtitle given to the outdoor part of the workshop.
Kullaberg is a mountain resort, well known for its « raw » nature - hanging cliffs, rocks and deep waters. Through our dance we install a giving-taking relation with the body, its surrounding, the nature and everything involved. We need to be gently attentive in order not to get injured or injure. The aim is to develop our abilities to be generously alert while moving and coexisting in any space or situation.
The workshop will be given by Martina Gudmundson, dancer and body therapist, trained at the Zen Shiatsu School of Amsterdam.

Hej Martina, Tak for email! Jo tak, jeg har det bedre. Jeg har et stort, varmt Amsterdam hjerte der forhåbentlig kan klare noget Københavner Coolness. Hvis jeg flygter ud i en Svensk skov, ringer jeg til dig og spørger om vej
Salut!! Är du i Sverige nu? Går det bra? Hur länge är du borta? Jag har varit i Norrland en vecka och kollat på fjäll och renar och det var så skööönt..! Och du, jag tänkte kolla med dig - jag och Vistar ska åka till Nice nu i helgen,bara en jättekort sväng fred-sönd, och jag undrar om du har några tips? På typ vad som helst, fina stränder eller cafeen eller katedraler eller barer eller vad som helst? Mottages gärna! Hoppas du har det bra i Skaune, kram!!!
j'adorerais passer 3 semaines avec toi (et Mu, et qui veut..?!) en Suède dans la nature, je ne sais pas si je vais avoir les moyens though, but I'll let you know!!! And if you already have the dates, that might help - I'll be performing on the 10th and 11th of august, but I don't have any serious plan after that, so who knows... des millions de bisous, à bientôt, sego
Ja middag onsdag kväll låter heel gezellig! Jag vet inte riktigt hur jag kommer jobba då men jag kan ringa dig imorgon? Haha jo jag fick faktiskt presenter - Malin hade styrt upp.. Kram!
Vad bra att du trivs i nya lyan!! Jag jobbar till 23 ikväll och var ute igår så jag kommer nog vara för sliten för Dok sen,tyvärr. Men vi får hitta på nåt snart!! Vad gör du i Amersfoort?
