About this event

Heartshakes: Pulses, Rhythms, and Reciprocity with Shannon Murphy

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Gestures of the heart, non romanticized, inspire this movement workshop. We will explore through movement, imagery, writing, and dialogue how the palm of the hand connects to the mediastinum supporting and surrounding the heart. Feeling for the poetics made visible to us through experiencing the part of ourselves we call heart. Shannon is a level three Franklin Method educator and will incorporate that into the workshop. Expect functional anatomy, guided imagery, improvisational movement explorations and circles containing reflections and conversations. 

BIO:

Shannon Murphy is a dance artist/educator. She received her MFA in Dance from University of the Arts and is faculty for Franklin Method Institute, specializing in Franklin Method for dance. Through practice and performance she creates invitations for gathering practicing complexity, differentiation, and resilience. These practices model possible ways of being and being together through experiencing sensate, erotic, and imaginative explorations of biological metaphors. Recently her work was shared at the Painted Bride Art Center, Penn Museum, and as asynchronous performance in the form of zines/art books. As an adjunct professor she teaches in many places including UArts as the Curricular Head of Body Pathways at UArts developing programs to reduce injury and support healing for dancers.
