About the workshop:

Over the last 20 years Heidi Vierthaler has been developing her Streamflow Movement Method, which is incorporated into the daily practice of prominent contemporary internationally. It is the starting point for all her choreographic works, creating a common language for common ground.
The Streamflow Method quietly works deeply within the body. It has an intuitively progressive guidance that allows one to discover a sense of full body freedom and interconnection. Through imagery and sensation it provides an in-depth look at how each part of the body, when examined clearly and simply, can be a catalyst for naturally occurring, complex movement. After taking the class, new movement channels open in the body and a heightened awareness for what it means to be fully present in one’s own movement research. The dancers will experience a series of deep listening exercises to connect to forgotten places in the body. While slowly tapping into small sections that won’t immediately overwhelm, complexity and expanded space will begin to reveal itself without forced effort. Exchange and conversation is vital to this process, which automatically opens a listening that connects us to ourselves and surrounding community.
