Open Source Forms (Releasing Dance) is a unique somatic, healing, and creative practice, a journey into releasing tensions and shedding outer layers, letting go into greater power, dynamism, and nuance in one’s movement and creative practice.

This fall series (Releasing plus) will blend OSF’s deep state work with imagery with practicing spiraling movement patterns, floorwork, and spinal articulation.

We will expand our capacity to move freely - both through cultivating our transparency to embodied images, as well as slowing down with movement motifs, tuning into the pull of fascia and sequencing of motion through the body. Dynamism emerges from the practice of listening.

A poetic, intuitive approach to accessing greater physical freedom while cultivating imagination, courage, and specificity in movement.

This practice is for you if….

​

…you’re craving a pause during the week to slow down and tune inwards

​

…you’re wanting to experience more effortless, fluid, and integrated movement

​

…you are a creative soul who loves the power of images and poetry

​

…you’re hungry to expand your movement capacity and vocabulary

​

…you want to be in community with other like-minded somanauts

Sessions include improvisation, deep-state work with imagery, movement motifs and explorations, and partner studies.

​

OSF is deeply rooted in and fluidly expanded from Skinner Releasing Technique, combining influences from Alexander Technique, Zen Buddhism, and ideo-kinesis. This series will also blend principles and practice from the Axis Syllabus.

​

Appropriate for all levels of movers.
