Authentic Movement

moderated - created 12/01/06
Authentic Movement is a movement form where the counscious meets the uncounscious. It is used as a personal spiritual practice, movement therapy, self awareness practice, source work for performance.
This tribe is here to keep practicioners connected and inform each other about classes, event, retreats, teachers...etc.

"Authentic Movement explores the relationship between a mover and a witness, being seen and seeing. With eyes closed, the mover listens inwardly and finds a movement arising from a hidden prompting, a cellular impulse. Gradually the invisible becomes visible, the inaudible becomes audible, and explicit form is given to the content of direct experience.

The witness brings a receptive quality of clear attention to the mover. The witness is mindful of the inner world of sensation and meaning, judgment and criticism. Though personal shadow issues may emerge, the witness accepts the mover without analysis or direction and speaks only when the mover asks for a response. The mover and witness together can achieve a level of perception of self and other that evokes deep respect and empathy."
