Movement For Change
Overview
Movement acts as a wonderful metaphor in supporting big shifts; as Irmgard Bartenieff said, ‘Movement is change’ moving with, through, around a problem can help us find practical solutions and prepare ourselves to work in a new way. In Movement can become a part of your change project to support innovative experiential approaches to tackling challenge.
Intended Outcomes
- Participants apply their experiences of guided improvisation & creative practice to their involvement in a process of change.
- Self & Group expression becomes foregrounded through a balance of practical experience and group reflection.
- Value is placed on the journey to change through a process oriented practical experience.
Workshops will use strategies such as improvisation, creative group tasks, moments for personal reflection, peer observation & bodily awareness exercises to allow participants to physicalise any perceived boundaries, having the opportunity to move towards solutions and express their perspectives in a supported and held environment.
What people say about us
This training required me to focus on forgotten elements of my body, stance and movement, as well as considering how this impacts other people and spaces.
I felt great and it was a real contrast to my typically overly-thinky, heady self.
We enjoyed the experience so much we asked Lucy back to provide the same workshop for some of the participants we work with.
Lucy’s work has a substantial theoretical grounding which she makes wholly accessible and practical.
I believe Lucy’s work and personal style offers significant benefit to anyone in organisations, to help us to settle fully into ourselves and to liberate our full potential.
I enjoyed time to reconnect with myself and it was also a meaningful team experience, providing us all with some well needed time away from our usual workloads.
After a session with Lucy I experienced a profound transformation in my sense of myself and personal power. My voice and sense of agency had a stronger quality to it. I was coming from within my whole body and space that I inhabit.
