The Feldenkrais Method® studies the works of our nervous system and our ability to recognize and create movement patterns that are both more efficient and more pleasant. The method emphasizes awareness, distribution of effort/action through the whole self, expanding self-perception and our ability to carry out our intentions. This class is ideal for dancers and people from different backgrounds interested in discovering more about their physicality in a pain-free way and enjoying a larger sense of well-being.

 

Rebecca Davis is a choreographer and Feldenkrais® practitioner. She was a 2010-2012 Movement Research Artist-in-Residence. She is currently enrolled in the Internal Organization and Profound Strength postgraduate Feldenkrais® training program with Jeff Haller, and developing a new piece that will premiere at the Chocolate Factory. www.rdavisprojects.com
