Quitting is the starting point of improvisation. For Tango dancers, it is a necessary work to learn and do not miss!
SRT allows us to practice quitting: to stop stress, to stop flexing our bodies unnecessarily, to stop preconceived pursuits such as this or that should have happened,to stop fears of being inappropriate or unseemly. In order for something new to happen, we give up our usual patterns of posture and ways of thinking. Eventually we find energy and strength.
We rediscover our natural harmony and alignment, enhance our strength and flexibility, evoke our creativity and ability to improvise.
SRT can be useful to professional dancers, players, musicians and artists of all branches, to those in the process of healing and to anyone on the move regardless of their level. It can contribute to the development of any movement style or activity. For many people, SRT is a catalyst that brings multifaceted and far-reaching effects of unfolding and development in their lives, regardless of what they do.
SRT includes descriptions of lessons as an important tool in transforming.
Part of the lessons includes the practice of paired work (paired graphics), which we feel has left out the customary posture/retention patterns, perhaps for the first time. Sometimes through guidance, imagery calms our minds and, tapping into our imagination as we work on the technical aspects of movement, pulls us sweetly into a deeper totality. The movement is sometimes very soft and gentle, sometimes surprising and creative. The combination of technique with creativity is a unique feature of the Skinner Releasing approach. By combining our physicality with our imagination, we get a bigger, stronger, controlling self than their parts.
Parts of their lessons include ‘deep situations’ where our brainwaves slow down and we navigate just below the conscious level, SRT said. This is a state similar to meditation: our senses are elevated and open to learning. Acting in this state, even just dreaming of the movement, can allow for amazing transformations.
The atmosphere of class is gentle, supports an ambience in which we feel comfortable and safe and carries us there, weaving together various musical environments with a guided visual. Each of us can move forward with our own speed and method, access to our own fluid, natural grace and inner creative impulses. Balance is achieved by versatile expansions rather than holding. Instead of just being rigidly related to our bodies, we align with the forces of the universe. As such, SRT is an experimental, intuitive approach that takes into account not only our physical bodies, but also the energies that move within and around us.
At SRT, we find a classroom atmosphere that includes all of our parts. The content of the course is original and clear, but it also has the breadth and depth to cover our own feelings and thoughts as they come and go. And, no matter how much or little we move in class, we leave with more energy than we come. And with flowing ideas.
