Dynamic Expansion and Moveable Cinema
Dynamic: In physics, dynamics is the study of bodies in motion and changes in that motion Expansion: creating a space for mindfulness and litening at a deeper level to sensation as a gateway to expanded consciousness.
Moveable Cinema: perception of the felt-sensed visual field while in movement, as well as an agent for movement
Moveable Cinema is a movement practice created to expand the felt-sense and consciousness of vision while in movement. Shared though a series of mandalas (or practices) it enables one to find a unique path to research consciously how the expanded sense of vision can tune one into one’s body and acutely to the present. Beyond self-oriented practice, practices with others challenges and enriches subtle and powerful forms of witnessing. This becomes a vital and reliable tool for performance.
Moveable Cinema exists within the frame of Dynamic Expansion an integrated embodiment approach to orient to the Craniosacral System; tuning into it’s waves and stillness phenomena, grounds the practice.
