Somatic Acting Process

There is something about keeping up with all aspects of a practice, including sharing it more widely on social media.

There is also something about the Winter Solstice and the spirit of these days that made me want to come back here and share.

So today I’m offering the “map” toward embodiment in , as I also share it with my acting students.

Simple steps.
Nothing is fixed.
Follow the order that arises organically for you in each practice, study, creative process, or rehearsal.

My only suggestions:

If you are truly interested in embodiment, dwell in the transition between physicalization and somatization.
This is where there are no gaps between your body and mind through breath, imagination, and the senses.
Attending to "how you move" and "what moves you".

Do not skip reflection.
It is the glue that brings you back to creation.

Inspired by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen’s process of embodiment in Body-Mind Centering, and based on my ongoing research in the acting craft and embodied practices over the past two decades.

As always, I hope it resonates with where you are.

Until the next sharing,
Happy Winter Solstice, and smooth transitions towards the light ✨

Very much looking forward to facilitating a workshop for the Sadler's Wells Culture Club this coming Friday 19 September at 2pm.

It seems that the session is sold out but, according to the website: "There will be a limited number of tickets available on the day, offered on a first come first serve basis. We recommend arriving early to avoid disappointment".
