Dear Friends,
I'm offering a group class at my praxis space on Friday, September 17th @ 19:00 to 21:00.
The space is very limited, so I am allowing only eight participants. Please contact me right away to reserve a spot.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Jarrett

Remembering the Body *
This is not a yoga class. Nor is it any technique for dancing. We will not be doing anything fancy or 'advanced.' Instead, we will play with different levels of awareness, and different fields of interaction with the world outside the border of our skin.
'Beginners' will not be those who've never danced before, but those who've never explored their own personal narratives in movement. That is to say, all ages and levels of physical ability are welcome.
Material will be drawn from two of my deepest influences, namely: Anna Halprin's Life/Art Process and Min Tanaka's Body Weather research.
We will be lying on the floor, standing, walking, running, jumping, dancing.
We will be giving and receiving touch; and exploring what it is to not receive touch.
We will explore our voices, and we will explore being silent.
We will draw, and write, and reflect, and share ... or not.
*** Concerning COVID-19 concerns... This is the world we live in right now, and especially considering the fact that this workshop will involve close proximity to others, participants must agree to the following conditions:
I will only accept those who have been fully vaccinated (I don’t feel like tempting fate. Even if one is fully vaccinated, one can still contract the disease and pass it on to others. Let’s all do our part.)
Contact tracing forms must be filled out;
In addition, everyone will be expected to wear masks, except during those times when doing so will impede certain exercises (e.g.: performance études, or being the receiving partner during a sculpting exercise)
Place: Wiesbaden, Rheinstaße 82
Date: 17 September
Time: 19:00
Length: 2 hours
Cost: 20€ **
Please contact me directly to reserve a spot. Space is very limited - only 8 places - so please contact me right away to reserve your spot, or to get on the waiting list.
Any and all questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks again,
Ben

* Remembering the Body was the title of Anna's weekly classes that she offered for decades at the historic Mountain Home Studio in Kentfield, California. She graciously allowed me to use this title for my own classes.
