OWN your SHIFT

DANCE & FELDENKRAIS Workshop

With OWN YOUR SHIFT, Sandra Ortega pursues the transmission of strategies and creative tools for the understanding of movement and action. This knowledge, internalised through practice, comes from the experience and training throughout her life as a professional.

It seeks to bring the dancers closer to the action of learning itself, acquiring a deeper knowledge of what elements come into play in the evolution of the movement. How all these elements relate to each other, awareness and consciousness of the bone and muscle structure, breathing, sensations and understanding of one’s own perception; basic concepts that form and accompany the action.

These sessions are influenced by the work of awareness and self-observing of the Feldenkrais method. This method of somatic education is a neuromotor learning system based on neuro plasticity – the innate ability of our brain to change and reprogram itself by forming new neural connections, which will lead the students to expand their range of possibilities, by becoming more aware of their self-image. A way to break habits and find new patterns, new alternatives and ways of doing, which will emerge freely with the purpose of becoming part of the repertoire and personality.
