The Journey

The living anatomy of our bodies, which enliven our contact dances and life in general. The program will open us to flow, spontaneity, presence, and bring grounding, alignment, and new skills.

These five modules unlock the cellular knowledge of various tissues in the body.

It informs your body, your life, and all other practices you do.

Christine Cole

displays a radical trust in embodied experience as the primary way for groups to co-create knowledge.  She has taught at the school for Body-Mind Centering®, and runs her own trainings worldwide, currently in Russia, USA, Thailand, China and Israel. Christine has long term practices in contact improvisation, post-modern and improvisational dance, authentic movement, improvisational theater, writing, and voice.

SomaticBODY exists to re-ignite the amazing truth of the body, how we become the embryological and evolutionary beings we are. Radical trust in embodied experience is the primary way for groups to co-create knowledge.

WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR?

This is a terrific way for CI dancers, teachers of dance, or CI to add a wide breadth of new somatic information to your practice. These embodiment modules become toolkits for your personal warmup or teaching tools. This group is open to all with some experience in CI and will provide the ground for the expansion of your own dance and understanding of how the body is inspired to move.  

No previous experience with Somatics, yet a base in Contact Improvisation is required. If you are unsure if this Program is right for you, please contact us.

Why you might like to take this training if…

 

YOu Have a Desire, a deep wish, a passion for embodied learning

or frustration even anger with the non-embodied world. 

You want to put movement, touch and learning into the center of your work and life, or give it more value in what you are doing now in your personal and business life. We offer tons of time to recommit yourself to embodied learning, time for your body to move, rest, engage, receive and express itself truthfully; this is a process - We guide you through it.


You are Ready for Commitment: 

 Most of our students have many different short or long trainings under their belt, but are looking for one that allows them to bring it all together! These students are willing to make space in their lives, the time and have the willingness to shift. They may not know HOW they can change, or WHO they are below the layers, but they are more willing to go on an unknown path, than stay in stagnancy. 


You are looking for Credibility: A certification, a mentor.


You want Connection - a learning community, a tribe


 

You want the BODY, movement and touch, and find presence & clarity.


 

I want tools to learn about my own / or teach anatomy for movers

Somatic Body&CI trains students to become professional facilitators of embodiment, movement, perceptual and relational development. After running three SomaticBODY programs, we are seeing that our students indeed have a solid background and tools: Indeed they start their own practice and gather clients & students. Once you complete this program, you are qualified to apppply all 150 hours toward an independant application to join the International Somatic Movement Association - ISMETA and be recognized as a Registered Somatic Movement Educator (RSME) and Therapist (RSMT).


SomaticBODY& CI works as a 1 year cohort. We believe that is how learning works: in discourse, in a group. You will engage with people in your field that will play, explore, learn with you, and support you through the ups and downs of the training - your transformation. We will challenge you on a basis of trust and within the framework of somatics.


Well honestly, most of our time is in delicious learning of anatomy and developmental movement, in embryological origins of tissues,  in sourcing from moving authentically, and learning about being a good witness, being present. There is lots of time to dance, move, howl, sing, discuss, play and improvise. The systems approach and the developmental patterns provide a lens through which to assess groups and in private practice - You will leave with ample opportunities to APPLY these concepts.


This year is about setting up the ways to learn somatically ( which challenges some of your usual patterns, like the brain thinking it knows something before we do it),;It is about the experience. As such, it can be exciting, challenging, and disorienting.we also put embodied learning in a frame of pedagogy - so ou can learn how people learn - this is very freeing and exciting. 

Our students completely up their teaching game, add tools to their therapeutic practice, even create movement centers, teach dance, THey report that heir personal life blossoms, even affection their progress in seemingly unrelated jobs, like architecture, wilderness training, or running businesses. Many students find that their PRESENCE draws people to them, they recognize coherence, aliveness and trust.

 

I am confident that THIS YEAR is you can move from where you are at to a state of Inspired dance embodiment.

Brand NEW Cohort starting NOV 3, 2024 NEW! - with Christine Cole
