The guidance for All Of My Faces is improvised for the group and the moment. I draw inspiration for explorations, language, concepts, and facilitation style, from many incredible people and practices. I will reference specifically in the session, and I want to share my gratitude in general first!
Primary inspiration for All Of my Faces comes from... Annamari Keskinen & Ryan Mason (Thar Be Dragons), Julian Barnett (Personal Poetics), Ruth Zapora (Action Theater), Montoya Kondo (Butoh), and the Authentic Movement practice. More inspirations include… Nita Little (Contact Improvisation, Relational Intelligence), Vangelis Legakis (Contact Beyond Contact, Integrative Somatic Arts), Julyen Hamilton (Theatre Works, The Supported Body), Maja Hanna (Theatre of the Alive), Bela Crowder (The Embodied Heart) and Tina Afiya-Breiova (Axis of Action). Title inspired by my friend Aurora.
Participants describe my facilitation style as… immersive, action-packed yet surprisingly spacious in feeling, oriented towards embodied practice and self-discovery, clear brief and inspiring in demonstrations, imaginative or inspired by metaphor and imagery, enlivened and grounded, high-permission and welcoming of being as we are now.
