The Body Expressive
Your body is naturally expressive, But what you express and the way you express may be limited by your physical experience and your ideas about yourself.
John Ollom is an accomplished choreographer and dance teacher who delights in working with both trained dancers and with untrained individuals. Whatever your age, physical condition, or level of movement experience, John can help you have a more expressive body - and have fun with your expressive body. He has developed Internal Landscapes©, which is a process whereby you can create movement art growing out of feelings, emotions and ideas.
During this retreat you will discover:
- How to use stream of consciousness to come up with a phrase that will be a basis for movement
- How that movement can be varied and shaped into a work of art
- How wearing different clothing (or, if you choose, no clothing) affects your performance of movement art and helps you explore the union of art, eros and spirituality
- How you can use video to record interpretive movement
If you are searching for your artistic voice, this retreat will help you explore a discipline that will help you in that search. If theatre, dance, pantomime or video is already a mode of expression for you, this retreat will show you how your discipline can relate to other disciplines and be enriched by them. This intensive retreat will get your creative juices flowing and leave you with a permanent video record of your artistic expression. If you have a video camera, you are encouraged to bring it. If you don't, video cameras will be available for your use here at Easton during the retreat.
