Oxford Dance Forum have invited Ed Woodall to lead a workshop in the Feldenkrais Method. Read more about Ed’s work at www.asenseofmovement.com

The afternoon will comprise a short introductory talk about the method by Ed, and then two experiences of Awareness Through Movement followed by questions and discussion. Feldenkrais Method is a unique form of motor-sensory learning. Lessons comprise the slow, playful and gentle unpicking of human movement.

The lessons are known as sessions in Awareness Through Movement with the idea being that the more you “know what you are doing, the more you can do what you want.” (Moshe Feldenkrais)

Sylvie Fortin, a dancer and professor of dance has written; “Feldenkrais Method provided me with the non-mechanistic strategies I needed to re-pattern myself.” The method really opens up new possibilities about how you see and feel yourself to be and therefore how and why you will approach your work and life in the future.

Feldenkrais is used widely across the world by dancers individually, in dance companies, conservatoires and degree courses.

Oxford dancer and choreographer Thomas Page has called his lessons with Ed “insightful and enriching” and would “highly recommend to anyone who wants to deepen their awareness of the body and of movement”.
