Expanding awareness - Embodying intuition - SRT as a doorway into Making Dances

Summer Intensive

Date:

Location: Bern

This 5-day intensive course combines the poetic and integrative method of Skinner Releasing Technique with the compositional work of Instant Composition. It is open to dancers, performers, dance teachers and movement lovers of all levels who have previous experience in SRT and wish to deepen and expand their technical, compositional and creative skills.


Mornings:
Each morning starts with a SRT class (exp. 11-15) of the Introductory series of 2,5 - 3 hours.

Afternoons:
The respective releasing principles will inform the compositional practice in the afternoon where we will create improvised solos, duets and dance pieces in smaller or larger groups.


The main focus is the connection between our awareness and intuition in dancing and composing.
Listening with the whole body allows awareness to expand in multiple directions at once—internally toward sensation and movement, and externally toward space, time, and the presence of others—creating a living field of possibilities. Within this openness, intuition arises not as something mysterious or separate, but as an embodied knowing: a felt sense that guides us with ease and immediacy toward the next move, phrase, or place. Trusting these choices, even when they feel less familiar, allows the many layers of meaning to emerge, keeping the dance alive and continuously evolving.
Dancing and performing, then become acts of listening, being present and sharing.

For whom:
As this week proposes later material of the SRT Introductory pedagogy (exp. class 11-15), participants should have some prior experience in SRT (e.g. having taken part in previous SRT Summer Intensives or the SRT workshop May in April  2026).
