EDGEN LAME
The Body as a transferral of center
into the imaginary space of Mind
1st Week – 2 hours/day
19:00 – 21:00
By activating the center as the basic element that triggers movement and observing at the same time how this movement is travelling all over the body, our intention is to move through Helical Motion. We create curving pathways in an unlimited space and evaluate the right amount of energy in order to be able to travel without restrictions through this imaginary space, which is bordered by our Minds but is able to follow numerous possible directions.
