EVENT DESCRIPTION
Dynamic Expansion is a somatic dance/movement practice exploring the felt physical phenomenon of the Craniosacral (C/S) system. Via guided techniques and improvisations, explorations are introduced that enhance one’s capacity sense and then amplify the Cranio Rhythmical impulse (CRI) in oneself and others. Through this movement amplification, awareness and heightened states of presence one can refine their capacity for empathy in the sensorial field, creating a space for one to feel profoundly connected to the whole
