Our work is embedded with somatic organic instruction. "Learning through the senses" is a core defining component of Kinesensics.
The actor navigates the various distances that are simultaneously at play by blending elements of various levels of communicative behaviour. We’ll explore these concepts in an embodied way, using our own body wisdom and childlike curiosity... oh, and a bit of basic technology. The camera you have on your laptop, phone or tablet (whatever device you will sign in with) will do the trick.
Discover a perspective on teaching and facilitating by embracing the idea that both facilitators and participants carry invaluable lived experiences and then nurturing these experiences as essential learning moments.
